XXR 19” Wheels / Tire

I really love the XXR 527 Wheels but comes in somewhat not common sizes, I want 19’s front to rear but only come in 19x8.75 and 19x9.75, should I run 19x9.75 all around and would that eventually run into problems up front as rubbing? Also I am trying to find a tire but I know tires do not look the same if the wheel is a different width then others because a tire on a 19x10 will look different on a 19x9 because it’ll have a bulge look and a 19x8 tire will look stretched on a 19x9. Don’t take my word, I have been doing research but it’s hard to do research on what people have ran on these s197s on 19” wheels, I picked 19” because I like how low but not to low profile the tires are and fills up the wheel well nice, and if I confused anyone, I’m basically asking what size wheel for the XXR 527 should I run and what tire would fit without being too small

Basically, depending on which size you choose, you should stay within 1" of the rim width. Preferably even or just wider than the rim. I think when you go narrower on the tire than the rim is when you get that stretched look. The taller the aspect ratio of the tire the wider you can deviate from the rim width without it looking odd. I have really tall tires, 5 1/2" of sidewall for a total height of almost 29". I run a 12" wide tire on an 10" wide rim without it looking bulgy. With the shorter profile tires you're going to be looking at anything from a 245 to a 265 tire.
