Summer tires for 19x9.5 +22 Rim setup?

Most of my driving is simple around town stuff but I do push the car hard more often then I care to admit (how could you not). I have a dedicated set of winter tires so going with extreme performance summer should be ok for me (I think lol).

New Springs:
Swift Springs (moderate drop in height)

New Rims:
19x9.5 +22 Rays G-Games

What tire size should I go with? I do not want to roll fenders.
265/35/19, 265/30/19, 255/35/19

Potential tire choices:
Yokohama ADVAN Sport (Max Performance Summer)
Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 (Extreme Performance Summer)
other recommendations?

I am on 275/30/19 Bridgestones and the rears had to be rolled with +15 offset on wheels. Just a slight roll though, I have a set of Continental tires 265/35/19 waiting for some decent weather, then getting installed. I did notice the 265/35/19 are slightly taller.

I am lowered on Eibachs and have rally armor mudflaps and they rub slightly during mid-turn, I am thinking they may rub more with the 265/35/19 from it being a bigger tire diameter but hoping the narrower width will make up for it.

I saw you're thread your wheels look sweet. +15 is aggressive as hell.

I was worried about going to a 265/30/19 tire because I live in New Jersey and I tend to go to New York a lot. The pot holes can be absolutely brutal.

Just as a data point my 275/30-19 Pirelli P-Zeros were only 265mm wide when I measured the actual tread width mounted on the wheel. The new Yokohama AD08 tires were a true 275mm wide tire and wouldn't have fit with my eibach springs/stock shock combo. Luckily moving to BC Racing ER series coilovers increased the clearances to the suspension from 5mm to 15mm or I would have been hosed! These were mounted to 19x9.5 wheels with +35mm offset so they are as inboard as possible, your +22 offset would be fine in that regard (+13mm more outward) but rolling the fenders in a bit to avoid that ~5mm of fender well from cutting into the tires on severe bumps when that side of the car is loaded would be wise. The narrower tire sizes you mentioned may also keep the tires stretched tighter to the wheel and cause less issues, but verify the diameters are close to stock.

Since your new wheels are 19x9.5 (instead of the popular 19x10.5), you can run 265/30/19 tires. The 275/35/19 may be to wide for your application.

The 275-35-19 is too big on diameter, not just height wise, but for your front portion of the fender liners, you will rub fender liners bad in the front. And depending on suspension, you "could" rub in the fender liner on the front tires, but in the rear portion.

I did get my 265/35/19 and they rub even more than the 275/30's I had. It rubs on the fender liner both in front and also against the rally armor mudflaps at partial and at full lock. I will be doing a fender mod with a heat gun to eliminate the rubbing up front.

I just put on a set of 19x9.5 +22 wheels with 275/30/19 toyo t1r tires. My two cents...going with a 19" is a trade off performance-comfort vs looks. I wouldn't suggest going with a 35 sidewall because you are adding to the circumference of the wheel (+ tires typically weigh 2lbs more at a 35 sidewall). Going with a 19" is already going to give you a slight disadvantage with all out performance. The 30 sidewall is the desired sidewall to run with 19" wheels but the ride is more harsh and the wheels are more exposed to damage. However, in your situation, with springs it's not worth risking fender work by going with 35s.
