Default Wheel and tire info needed

I just purcahsed a set of Cargrpahic 19" wheels for my C4S (Rolled fenders)

I'm going with Bridgestone SO-3s because I work there and I can get them basically free.

The widest tire they make is a 285 30 19. Will the tire be streched if going on a 19x11? Will the rim stick out more than the tire?

Should I go with a 19x10.5 instead?

The reason I like the 11 is because it has a 3.5 inch lip. The 10.5 has only a 3 inch lip.

I'm a lover of deep dishes but I'd rather the tire be flush or further out than the rim for some protection.

thanks in advance guys

The 285 should work fine with the 11" wheel.

These are 285 SO2s on 18"x11" rims.
