Default Firehawk wheel fitment

Hey everyone, I’m looking at getting a new wheel and tire setup for my stock 99 T/A Firehawk. Most of the wheel styles I’ve been looking at though only come in 19s. Last place I talked to quoted me for 19x8.5 in the front and 19x10 in the back. What offset and tire size would you all recommend? Would love to go as wide/aggressive looking as possible without rubbing and hammering or rolling the fenders. Currently I’m running 275/40/17 all around

Well, you CAN fit 315s on 18x11s all around. I do it, those are my autocross wheels. I only get a teensy bit of rubbing on the rear frame rail because I'm flexing the tire sidewall an extreme amount, from cornering at 1g. Street driving that would not happen. Also the fronts I can't turn fully lock to lock but has never been an issue. They don't rub under normal circumstances. I had to roll the rear fenders, but not flare them or anything. IIRC it's +36 offset, I have a TA not a Camaro, rumor has it TA body is a bit wider.
