No head aches at all with that sizing in the front on those wheels.

^^^ What these guys said.. 255/35/19 on 2012+ front wheels fit well, and they're a nice performance upgrade..

Stick to 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 for the 2008 wheels?

Yes 245/35/19F & 275/30/19R will work perfectly you can get way with 285 on stock rear rim as well.

245/285 on my stock 2008 wheels. No problems at all on stock suspension/ride height.

Thanks for the pics @SemnosNSX. They look so much better than the OEM Bridgestones. What PSI you running, 36?

I keep hearing nothing but good things about these tires. I just really wished they had more sizes available for 18s for my IS350. Congrats @OP

I am wondering what tire pressure you are running. I was about to order some from tirerack.com for 1k and they recommend the following.

Important Note:
Front: XL/RF tires required. Customer must maintain higher tire pressure levels of 42psi for proper load.

^^^^Open the driver's door and read the label. That's as good a place as any to start.
