Still, without a body lift at least, 31x10.5...
Any bigger and the tire will be making contact with the sway bar and frame (I think some have this issue even with 31's still, and add a spacer with 31's to fix that issue). Larger than 31's and using spacers isn't any better because when you get the wheel further out to make the tire miss the sway bar and frame, the tire will then start hitting the inner wheel well on the bottom of the rear of the fender
With a T bar and shackle lift on my 04, I BARELY fit 31x10's on some 2wd aftermarket offset wheels, and even after trimming the front lower valance and hammering on the fender, it STILL rubbed...
I want to purchase some rims for my stock 2001 sl would -19 offset work without rubbing? I’m running 235/75r15 with Goodyear wrangler tread

If you are just after a more aggressive look, try putting some 255/70-15's on your stock rims. No crank needed (saves you CV joints), no rubbing. Much cheaper and less damage than trying to fit a tire that is way too big with no lift other than cranking your tbars.

well I already have the rubbers i just want to get an aftermarket rim I want a deeper dish but my options for offset on the rims I’m looking at are -6 -19 or -43 I’m just stuck between -6 and -19. I’m thinking with -6 it will just stick out maybe 1”? And -19 would be just over 2” and then get some flares also I don’t want tire rub

Took 3 years to get to this point but these rims are 15x8 with a -19 offset I am running a 2.5” rough country suspension lift and this pic was right after I pulled out of the garage after installing a 2” pa body lift I love the tires and look with how much they stick out
