+1
although mine are m6 offset, i run 275/35/19 + 245/35/19 ... i think it balances it out nicely, i know a couple other people use this size too. looks phenomenal

I have 255/45x19, 285/35x19 and in general they dont rub.. and they look fine.. but give it some down a country lane, twisting and turning, bumping etc.. I get a bit of rubbing on the front... when it comes to new tyres I will be going with 245/35/19 fronts and 275/30/19 rears.. but for now until then they will do (just dont give it tooo much beef).. plus with winter fast approaching it may pay to have a bit more rubber
