Default What’s a good tire size?

just bought wheels and they are:

F: 19x8.5 +41
R: 19x9.5 +41
Im asking what kind of tire size would be ideal without rubbing issues and making it look flush? And should I purchase spacers as well? What spacers would be recommend here ? Thanks so much in advance

IMO, if you need spacer you picked wrong set up. Sorry to say this, sounds like you need tires 101 B4 playing with them. Let the tire shop take care of it. Staggered set up makes tire rotation pretty messy
specially with directional tires. Wider tire in the rear with same off-set???

Thanks for the reply. I just got a good deal on some wheels and wanted to know if spacers were an option. If it helps I drive a RWD

Spacers are a bad remedy when you have the wong wheel size. It's much better to properly size the wheels.
