Default Need Help choosing tire size HELP !!!!

Alright guys i have been looking for the correct tire size forever and cannot find a good answer so i figured i would post on here. My car is dropped on F-sport springs. My main concern is the rear i have a 19x10 rim and i was told when i bought the rims to run a 265/30 but when researching people said that running that tire might be stretching it a bit to where i could damage the rim if i hit something. then i was told to run a 275/30 but also read that i will have to roll my fenders which i dont want to do so needless to say i am confused now any help would be great i paid way to much money on the rims to make a wrong decision on tires so any help would be great.

It'll depend on the offset of your wheels to large extent. Are they on the car now? Sounds like they are not. If they aren't, test fit one wheel to see how much room you have in the wheelwell. A tight fitting wheel will dictate conservative tire size, as in 265's
I've got 20x10's in the back, and I'm running 275/30-20's with no problems with rubbing at all. If you want to play it safe, go with 265's and call it a day.

is there any way to get a slightly talle sidewall tire that would fit? i was thinking if a 45-series wider tire or a 50 series tire fits, might be a little less tire noise.
