Tire / Wheel Fitment Question

I got a couple questions concerning the purchase of a set of HRE rims with Goodyear Eagle F1 tires. Is there going to be much difference to go for 19X10 in the rear as opposed to 19X9.5? Is there any performance gain for going wider? Also would 265/30/R19 make the rear wheels stick too far out so that it's susceptible to more curbbing than usual (compared between 9" width to 10") Thanks alot.

depends on the weather
no need or benefit in getting the 10's .... 9.5's will fit the bill

As long as the specifications are correct you will have no issue going 9.5
