Tires for new rims

I just ordered some work varianza t1s 19x9.5/10.5 +15. Im looking at either getting an s or h tech drop in the future. What tire size do you guys recommend i run? Status has 245/35/19 275/35/19 in falken and 255/35/19 275/35/19 for toyo. Will the 275 in the rear give it a bit of a stretched look? I want some tires in the back that are some what beefier to fill up the gap I'm going to have with the drop. Thanks in advance.

i'd go with 255/35/19 and 275/35/19. 245 up front is way too stretched. 275 in the rear is not stretched too bad but i think i will go with 285's in the future. since you're +15 in the rear you definitely will need to either roll or cut your fenders even with htechs and running 275's.

i have volk gts with +18 and 275...and they were rubbing when i had z htechs. now with a complete roll i can fit 285's no problem and i'm dropped on basics at 1.2"

at stock height probably not....but that would look funny. if you are going with those badass wheels, you gotta do it up right. roll the fenders and drop it at least an inch.

Quite the sweet set- up, Patrick . . . And a very aggressive offset, as well. It's going to look fantastic. I believe that when all is said and done, you car will be dropped and the rear fenders will have rolled.

^^^agreed...you dont buy a set of wheels with an aggressive offset only to stay stock height without a roll.
