Default needs opinion on current wheels and tires setting

my current setting is 225/35/19 in front and 245/40/19 in the rear. im debating should i go front bigger with 40/19 or the rear smaller 35/19 to match.. cuz with the current setting.. it doesnt look good. Some of my friends say go with 35 and lower more, it will fills the gap better. Also, i'm planning to set camber negative and lower the rear a little bit more so it wont rough.

Can someone please post some pix with 35/19 in the rear or 40/19 in the front so i can have some idea how it will looks like. Thanks.

I have the g35 wheels on my car and they came with stock sized tires for the g35. Fronts are 235/40/19 and rears are 245/40/19. Rears are fine, however, the fronts will rub everytime I try to turn slightly. It rubs near the back portion of the fender near the door. I dont know whats wrong, but I put them on myself with the tools that you would use to change out a spare. I need to get new tires for the fronts. Probably gonna move the front tires to the back since they need to be replaced soon and get 225/35/19 for the fronts.

Edit: Im also lowered on kybgr2/df210

I havent adjusted anything on suspension. I was just going to do an alignment after I get new tires. My old rims were 19x9.5 i believe. I was running a 275/35 in the rear and it didnt rub or anything. I dont remember the offset. Never really understood that part lol.
