Default Opinions on Correct Tire Size

So right now I run a 255 35 19 on a 9" wheel and a 275 35 19 on a 10" wheel.

Ive managed to roll my fenders to the point where its not rubbing anymore....

My question is, is this the optimal size tire for my setup? I was thinking of running a 40 series tire up from to help with ride comfort and whatnot, but I'm guessing I would have to go with a slightly less wide tire like a 245.

So would you keep the current size tire that I have now, or do a 245 40 and a 265 35, or do a 255 35 and a 275 30?

Keep in mind this is a daily and I'm looking for all around performance. Do you think running a 30 in the rear will make things ride harsher? Would a 40 series up front look silly?

All input greatly appreciated...

Here are some pics of the car so you can get a feel for fitment.

I would prefer the 245 40 and a 265 35 due to the fact that the rubber band 30 series make the car ride like crap so I myself like the cushion of the larger side wall.
