Tires for 19x8.5x45

Can anyone suggest tires to go with 19x8.5x45 wheels without rubbing?

And should I feel ok about moving away from a factory staggered setup to 19x8.5x45 all around?

245/35/19 is the way to go.

Personally if you lower the car though the rear wheel will look prety sunken.

Ideally you'd want a +35 offset if you're doing that all around.

I believe they only make the wheels in 38 or 45mm offset. So the 19x8.5x38 would be preferable?

Thanks for the help. I read through some of the other fitment threads, but I really don't understand staggered fitments and offsets very well so they were a bit over my head.

And that'll work with stock suspension and no fender modifications, right?

So it'll be wheels 19x8.5x38 all around and tires 245/35/19

Thanks very much for the help. I'm really excited about getting these on the car. Been wanting black wheels with a polished lip for a while to go with the black exterior. Here are some pics of the wheels. Momo FXL2's. And I'll definitely take some after shots of the car once installed.
