Lightbulb Recommendation on tires on 19x9 et35

Hey guys, I own 2015 RC 350 F Sport AWD. On AWD RC's the front gap is ridiculous. So I will be installing RS-R Down springs next week. Given it's a 1" max drop front and 0.6" drop in rear max. I'm curious if the wheels I purchased will rub. The spec on the wheel is 19x9 et35. So question now is what size tires do I go with? I want square setup. I don't intend to stretch the tires or rolling/pulling fenders at all. I listed inform and specs below, I'd appreciate your advice on this. Thank you in advance.Current setupLooking for a functional setup. Two or two and half finger gap. OEM Spec 19x8 et45 235/40/19 (Bone Stock) Future setup RS-R Down Spring 1" max drop front .6" max drop rear. Wheel Spec 19x9 et35 RVL Wheel UMA.Which tire spec would you recommend? 245/40/19-Will the sidewall be too thick? 235/40/19-Will I be stretching the tires? 245/35/19 -Due to decrease in load index, I'll be losing protection from potholes, which is inevitable in Boston. I'd like to run 245/40/19 but will it rub due to sidewall's thickness? also 235/40/19 would be great too but I feel I'm stretching the tires.
Thank you so much!
