Please Recommend Tire Size

My rims are: Alloy Technic B9

Specs:

19 x 8.5 ET 35 - Front
19 x 9.5 ET 24 - Rear


I was thinking:

255/30/R19 Front
275/30/R19 Rear

Please offer some other suggestions. Should I be more conservative in the width department?

245 or 235 in front. the rear sounds fine, MAYBE some rubbing.

I would run a 235 in the front or a 245 if you want as much rubber as a 8.5 will optimally use. 255 would just be a waste as the contact patch would be about the same as if you're a 245. The rears may rub with the 275 unless you plan on getting your fenders rolled and shaving off some of the felt wheel well liner.
