OEM 19's tire replacement question

what is the safest offset I can use for the OEM 19's other than the manufacturer recommended offsets? I am horrible at wording questions, so let me explain.

I need new tires all around. I have OEM 19's. I looked at the cost for the recommended replacement tires. Said f**k that, and started searching for other offsets I could use. Through my searching, I've found out that I can obviously widen the tire and shorten it to give me more options. But concerns of safety and handling come into play if you go too wide like 275. So my question is, what offset should I choose for both front and rear 19" OEM tires that will give me cheaper options but will be the safest/best handling other than the recommended offsets?

basically, I'm cheap and I don't want to die because I know I do stupid things in my car. I'm expecting to get yelled at to either search more and/or "just buy the recommended offsets you jacka$$!" help me out guys?

245/35 Front and 255/35 Rear are good conservative sizes that will give you some better grip over stock.

It's not called offsets! lol

But anyway IMO I recommend 245/35 FRONT and 255/40 REAR

And I recommend getting Falken FK 452 or Toyo T1R

I PMed you Too...
