your system wouldn't lower your car a few inches, unless you have 10 subs back there... and if it does then you have some serious suspension problems.

anyways, i have 17x8 rims and i could go bigger in the rear. you could go 17x8 front and 17x9 rear. it all depends alot on tire size too.

I have 18x10.5 front and rear, it rubs on the front a little bit but it sticks nice with 255 rubber.

You could probably get 235/30R19s to fit, but your rims will have to be the proper offset, or they will rub.
But the ride with tires having that low profile will feel like ****. You'll jar your fillings loose.
