Default Questions in tire width for new rims

Decided to go a little bigger. Plan on getting 19x8.5 30et. What's the widest tire i can go with on that setup? I'm dropped on TRD springs but may get Eibach sportlines depending how the new set of wheels looks. Suggestions?
And on that note, anyone want to buy my Enkie Pf01's, 18x9.5 35et wrapped in 235/40/18 tires?!

These are 19X9s with 40-mm offset and 255/35ZR19s...this car is also on TRD springs. Re-think your numbers...no rubbing or rolling of fenders needed with setup.

Thanks for the response 2tC. Per the maker of these wheels, i was told that i will not have any rubbing or have to roll fenders with the wheels themselves but they would not go into how big of a tire i should go with. The vendor i purchased from recommended 235/35/19 but my question is if I can go wider than that?

You have to look at the manufacturer's data sheets...I run Michelin Pilot Super Sports. The ideal Michelin tire for that rim is 245/35ZR19 and your car...

Picked up Nitto Nt-05's. 245/35/19. According to tirerack, they should fit perfectly. New rims and tires should be on by next Friday.
