Default Optimal Tire sizes for is350 19"

What would you guys recommend...

225/35/19 and 265/35/19 this was the closest i can get to oem on the tire size calculator but the 265/35/19 tires are so freaking expensive for some reason...

can i do 225/35/19 and 275/30/19 would that affect anything in terms of handling or odometer readings?

maybe even 235/35/19 and 275/30/19 since thats what most people are running i'm afraid i'm gonna rub with 19x8.5 +28 in the front... when lowered 1.5 inches....

you will definitely rub with 19x10 +28 in the front!!

I have 19x9 +38 on 235/35/19 and I rub when i turn all the way or on dips on fwys.

Sorry i meant to put 19x8.5 +28 in the front... and i tested my 245/35/19 tire on two days ago stock height... and yea it rubbed :*( especially at full turn and especially when backing up and turning.

So i'm thinking 225/35/19 or should i go smaller in the front?

Also hybrid how much are you lowered by?

curious too. i want to lower to eliminate the gap between top of tires and fender when i move to 19". what's the most aggressive i can get for stance(don't wanna poke. close as flush to possible) without any rubbing at all.


edit: don't wanna roll or cut fenders. willing to heat fender liner though
