Once again, 19's are all wrong for this car.
There are many links to tire/wheel calculators, go research there.
Stock diameter is 24.7 +/- an inch isn't a big deal. People run 265/35-18. Find a comparable size in 19.
If you want a meaty tire you need a couple things.
1. right fitting wheels (not 19's with high offsets)
2. coilover suspension to make room (which you don't have)
3. camber or ability to add camber (which you don't have)
4. rolled fenders (which you dont have)
In order to fit those wheels with your current setup, you would need stretched tires and spacers.

There are different threads with vossens in the same offset as mine they have the same springs no spacers their set up is 235/35 up front and 265/30 but I am trying to get a good answer on will a wider tire fit. I'm sorry if it doesn't fit your standard of how my car should be built. I only want facts not opinions not trying to be an ass but a simple yes or no would be better than telling me I'm building my car all wrong.
While we are speaking of opinions, my opinion meaty tires to me doesn't have to have large sidewall. a wide tire I feel is also considered a meaty tire.
But hey thanks for your speedy replies
