Default Tire recommendation for 19" staggered

I have some rims 19x8.5 +34, 19x9.5 +37 that are currently being powdercoated + repolished. I need some tire recommendations for these offsets without it rubbing or causing other problems. I'm currently lowered on F-Sport springs. I noticed most people are running 225/35-19 or 235/35-19 in the fronts and 265/30-19 or 275/30-19 in the back with similar offsets. Are you experiencing any rubbing issues? I'm not planning to do any fender rolling at this time, so any help will be great. Of course, I will be posting pics up when its all said and done.

My setup:
  • F --> 235/35-19 on 19x8.5, +37 offset
  • R --> 270/30-19 on 19x10, +39 offset
  • Lowered on H-Tech Springs
No rubbing or issues whatsoever!!

The following links are helpful when converting tire sizes and offsets:

235's up front with 275's out back. I have 19x9.5+35 rear and 19x8.5+35 front. The front barely rubs when going full lock to lock. Rear has no issues. I'm on S-techs.
