Wheel and tire fitment help

I currently have 19 staggered setup. if I am not mistaken Front 8Jx19 ET27 Rear 8.5Jx19 ET40.

I was thinking of putting 19x8.5 eta 35 all around. What size tires would you guys recommend?

245/35 tires is what I was thinking.

I wouldnt, you will get pretty substantial arch gap. 235/40 front and 255 or 265/35 rear will be better.

I know BarryB is running 245/40s on his 19x8 fronts without rubbing, and I think it has been determined that is the max size for 19x8s without fitment issues, so you should be fine stretching the same over an extra half inch. I'm personally going with 235/40s on a 19x8.5 square setup, ET25.

255/35 or 255/40 square ? I leaning towards this.

I know rears will be good. Any input on the fronts ?
