I got 8.5" up front & 9.5" in the back (both 19"). That is preety much the max size unless you roll your fenders like Xero said above.

i have 19x9.5 on the rears with 35mm offsets (car is lowered an inch) and i was rubbing. fenders are rolled now and all is good but if you do 30mm or 35mm you will stick out from the fenders.

IMO if you go 19x10 your offset will have to be 45mm-50mm so its flush with the car. you still might have to roll the fenders though

Vivid Racing put a set of 19x10's and 19x8's on their shop car and here's what they used:

19x10, +45mm with a 275/35-19
19x8, +43 mm with a 255/40-19

They state that they had to roll the rear quarter panels to prevent scrubbing.

I am currently using a set of KDW2's, 255/45-18's on the stock wheels. Although I don't like the taller sidewall having reduced the turn-in feel, the tire itself serves as a great season-stretching tire. When the weather breaks I will then switch to a new set of wheels and tires. Hopefully, I can get the Azenis ST-615 when I am ready.
