Default 1/2" lip..Is it ok?

Trying to decide what rim sizes and tire sizes is frustrating but I think I came up with a combo that would work.

19x10 front with 275/35/19 = 26.5x10.9
19x11 rear with 295/35/19 = 27x11.9

10.9-10 = .9" wider than the rim/2= .45" lip.

Is this enough?

you can go wider with the rear tire if you want, I suggest a 265/35/19 for the front and a 305/30/19 for the rear, that's what i'm using and the sidewall height should be perfect.(each tire manufacturer is a little different)

both sizes will fit, but pay attention to the total tire height you don't want the sidwalls to be drastically different in size it is very noticable
