Tires recommendation

I would like to get some suggestions as to what tires and spacers combination i could go with. I test fitted the BBS CH over the weekend and realized it doesn't look that great especially the rear.

I need new tires as the current set up came with the wheels when i bought them. My car is quite low, and after test fitting the wheels on, i realize there's really not much space to add spacers. My original plan was to add 10mm in the front and 12mm in the rear, but if I go with 235/35/19, and 265/30/19 tires, i'm sure it's going to rub (unless i get more camber and roll the fenders)

Current Set up:
BBS CH:
F: 19x8.5 et 35 with 235/35/19
R: 19x9.5 et 40 with 245/35/19

What sizing do you guys recommend?

That rear tire is too tall. Go down in tire profile.

For a wheel setup like that a 265/30/19 would probably work.

I was originally going to put 265/30/19 in the rear but after test fitting the rims with 245/35/19, i realize there's really not that much space left for spacers. You think 265/30/19 will give it a more aggressive stance since it's wider and thinner?

Thank you

I think it's really going to come down to how you want to set your car up. 265/30/19 can look pretty good, and there's plenty of meat on the wheels. If you're looking to get the wheel closer to the fender/side of the car, you may want to stretch the tires. If you want it as meaty as possible, it's going to need to be tucked in a tad more.

How much clearance do you have right now?
