Help: Need Tires on 19 x 11 AVUS wheels
Guys:
I am getting the wheels mounted today and need a suggestion on what size tire to wrap on the wheel.
Wheel is a 19 x 11 Avus AF-503 on a Rear of a C2 narrowbody.
Should I go with a 275-30-19 Michelin PS2 or a 305-25-19 Pirelli PZero Rosso?

You can't put a 275 on a rim that wide. The rim range on that tire is only up to 10" . Stretching a full inch more will overheat it and it will fail. Don't do it.
Go 295/30 19, or 305/30 19
Go 295/30 19, or 305/30 19

Wow........so you actually bought new wheels without a specific plan of for what rubber you were going to run?
Most people with the 11J 19 have been running 315s (on C4s and Turbos) assuming 30-35 offset but this is for a narrow Body C2?......should be aahhh.....'interesting'.

The only luck I have ever had with 19's on a C2 that looked proportionate and still fit was the S-03 Pole Position in 245/35 and 285/30. That was on 8.5/10" BBS LM. Bridgestone RE750 and Conti Sport Contact 2 I know won't work and look right. The rim range is still correct on the 285, but I've never tried an 11" rim on a C2. I bet you're going to have to roll the fenders at minimum as well.
Good luck.
Good luck.
