wheel and tire question

i'll try to make it quick and easy

1. (the big newbie question) disc sugguestion, ill eventually be running some big brakes, so should i need hi disc or low disc wheels, i forgot which one gives you extra caliper clearance

2. offset, im looking for about an inch in the front, and maybe around 3 in the back or something of those proportions. wheel sizing is 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear and my available offests are

Front: 33, 40, 45 hi and 30, 38, and 45 low

Rear: 13, 33, 35, 45 hi 31, 38, and 45 low

3. tire sizing, what is my range of tire widths and according profiles? im thinking 235/35/19 or 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 or 285/30/19. it looks like the 235/35 front and 285/30 rear are going to keep me within 1%

any answers or opinions are appreciated

personally i would go with fronts 30 and rears 31.. but you might need to roll your fender in the rear.. otherwise as long as its above +35 you should be fine in the back....

tire size depends on the look/ride quality and purpose.. i would go with 225/40 and 245/35 but that will give you the drifter look and you will be able to easily clear with those offsets...
