Yes, I'm an idiot...

I just bought a set of Ronal rims (LZ-VT). I didn't look close and come to find out their size is a:

18 x 9.5 front +45
19 x 10 rear +45

I was planning on using my tires but now I need new ones, what combo will work with these?

I would run a 265-35x18 in front and a 295-30x19 rear. Should fit perfect without sticking out or rubbing.

With this fitment, you will not have an T/C issues, as the rear tire is more than a 1/2" taller than the front.

Those sizes should work just fine and look good on the car.
