Default wide 19 tires?

I currently have 295/35/19 tires in the rear and they're pretty worn out. I'm interested in the widest tire I can get in 19 inch but can't find anything good. I hear they make 325/35/19. Anyone recommend anyone in particular and where can I get it?

keep in mind it'll all depend on how wide your wheel is. I've got an 11" wheel and any bigger and it will bulge out. I've got 325/30/19 and honestly they're not worth all the trouble to keep them from rubbing. I've got an adjustable PHR, adj. LCA, banged the crap out of the inner fender on both sides and even got strano springs with KYB AGX's set on the stiffest setting and I still rub on most bumps on the road. The worst is when I have to drive up an incline. FWIW my next set of tires will probably be 315/25/19 or 305/30/19

edit: oh yea for got to mention that I rolled my fenders as well

The most common 325/30-19s are the Goodyear Supercar EMT Runflats (off of the C6 Z06). They are about 13" wide. I was able to run them on 19x11 rims, but I did not like these HEAVY runflat tires.
The more common offerings are in a 305/30-19 (around 12"-12.5" wide), and they will fit on a 19x10 rim. There are also 315s (about 12.5" wide), as well as 345s (around 13.5"+ wide) and 355s (over 14" wide!), but are less common and usually very expensive. Those last two will need a 12" or 13" wide rim, too!

There are lots of options in 325 and 335, but you never said what size the wheels are, and I'm betting that they aren't wide enough to accomodate. If the wheel is less than 10" wide, you're pushing your luck as is.
