Need help with tire sizing

Im about about to pick up some advan sienna generation 2 wheels. They are 19x9 (+43) and 19x10 (+45). I have R-magic wide front fenders that are made out of fiberglass, i CANNOT rub in the front or it will tear them in half. So i was thinking 245/35/19 for the front and than 285/30/19 for the rear? Is 285 ok or do i need 275? Please let me know if this is alright, i greatly appreciate all your help and the "Stretched look" is out of the question. I plan on putting a suspension on in the next year but that is much further down the road and i dont plan on lowering it that much.

Does the aspect ratio need to be the same for both the front and rear?

I would run 255/30 and 285/30 19s.....pretty much limited to Pirelli Pzero for this sizing combo. Going to look tucked in with widebody fenders.

thanks rynberg, and i wont rub with those? Bleh i was looking at tirerack and the pirelli's got such terrible reviews regarding tread wear. So i cant get away with 35 with the aspect ratio, or should i not risk it?

A 245/35 19 is a full 1-inch taller than stock diameter. You would have to run near stock ride height to keep those out of the fender liners. The 285/30 19 is already a full 1-inch taller than stock as it is.

This is why 19s are a bad idea on an FD.

You would have to be careful with stock (unrolled) fenders, but wider front fenders should be no problem. Rear should be no problem.
