REAR: 19x10 - 225/40/R19
those sizes will give you a TON of clearance and room to work with (so u dont have to add a bazillion degrees of camber to make them fit right)
also...those sizes are meant for a car with rolled fenders...u can still fit em to non rolled fenders...BUT...ull need to add camber to keep the sidewalls from getting torn up

ive been running stretched tires for quite a few years now...ive never had a problem with them (and this is drifting and drag racing with them...my car is a mid to high 12 second car as well)
how do you think people fit 18x10s/18x12s on 240s??? how do you u think u fit crazy deep offsets on FM chassis with stock rolled fenders??
camber and stretched tires
trust me...youll be fine on stretched tires...get a good tire with a thick sidewall and ull be fine (i recommend federal 595s or falken azenis 615s)

***cue ancient Japanese flute and wooden knock-knocks***
