You are just going to have to run a thinner sidewall 35 upfront and 30 outback, if you do a quick search this has been covered countless times. I have a widebody but run 255/30/19 and 305/30/19, not only does it ride great but I think it looks good too...

I run staggered 18/19 and have no probs. Lots of rx7 guys said 19 is too big but i think they fill the rear wheel well perfectly.

I'm was running 18x9-0 and 19x10-31 on my old widebody. The only problem I ran into was turning the front wheels. If you go aggressive with your fitment like I did, you will have to trim the rear of your front fenders to let the wheel and tire get past without hitting. This was with caster adjusted to clear and I still had to trim, same with the back you may need to adjust your caster to clear the wheels rubbing.

Then again I like meaty tires so you might now have this problem heh.
