Default another tire spec question with +22 offsets

guys read through some old threads on this and have a couple questions. currently have TE37's 19 x 8.5 front and 19 x 9.5 rear +22 on both dropped on tein s-techs. have old tires of 235/35 F and 275/30 R. obviously front and rear are rubbing bad and pulled the rims off. i had the fenders rolled but still too much rubbing. what tire size should i go with 1. 225/35 F & 265/30 R or 2. 225/35 F & 255/35 R? i would like to have as much tire as possible. This is my DD and don't want anymore hassle with rubbing and cutting tires. any help is much appreciated.

you might be able to get away w/ 225/35-19 + 255/35-19.

your best bet is 215/35-19 + 245/35-19.

that's going to be stretched a little bit correct?

it's a very mild stretch (if you can even call it that) and definitely safe for daily driving.
