Please give advice on tire size.

I've got enkei rpo3's in 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear. I'm trying to decide if I should run 245's or 255's on the front and 275's or 285's on the rear. Let me know what you think.
thanks

you looking for the meaty look, a mild stretch, or a crazy stretch?

I don't really want the stretch. I think the meaty look is good.

then those sizes sound just about right. of course, if you want the meatiest look then go with the latter of both of your options. on the other hand, those

sizes kinda look a bit too big now that I take a second look...

Fat Tire....no that's Ale!

I'm running 245s on the front with 9.5" rim and that's big enough. You should
be able to get away with 285s out back, more meat the better. (out back)

If your fenders aren't rolled you are that much more likely to rub with a 285 in the back than a 275....

The most common 19" tire size I've seen is 245/35/19 F 275/35/19 rear. Seems fairly common with both 8.5"/9.5" as well as 9.5"/10.5". It's really all personal preference of how stretched or not you want your tires.

I've got my fenders rolled and a fair amount of negative camber. Rubbing probably wouldn't be an issue.
