Default Need some advice about tire size

So I bought some new wheels off a buddy of mine. Work LS406's they are:

Front 19x10 +35 Thinking of running a 255/35/19 tire

Rear 19x11 +32 Thinking of running a 275/30/19

I know the rear's shouldn't rub (rear fenders are cut already) but my main concern is the front wheels and tires. I will be rolling my front fenders, what tire size would you guys recommend?! Also how bad do you guys think it will rub while turning?!

Thanks!

You could go with 245/35 or 235/35 front and 265/30 rear give it a nice stretch

^ i agree with him, just stretch your tires and you shouldn't have a problem rubbing

Possibly I dunno yet. I like to sell them but its always nice to have another spare set of wheels just in case anything happens.
