Wheel/Tire Setup for xS

Hi, so I want to get new wheels and tires, and since I have a X, I want to do a "square setup". I am lowered on Eibachs right now, (but that might change to coils sometime later.) and I was thinking to go with 19x8.5 or 19x9 all around with some low offset concave wheels. I just wanted some opinions and what would look best for a square setup for my car? and what would be some good wheels to give me that look? Also, I don't want the wheels to be poking out too much, maybe just a little. And what tire sizes should I use? I was thinking 245/40/19s? Or should I go with 18' wheels?

I have an '08 G35XS and was thinking of using stock rear setup from '08 G35S with 245/45-18 on all four wheels.

Any idea if I would have any clearance issues? (Suspension is stock)

On stock suspension you should have no clearance issues, but definitely think about lowering it, cause that stock wheel gap is hideous. Anyways I don't know if it would be better to stay with 18s or go with 19s? I think 18s with low profile tires would make it look a bit more lower and better. Also im unsure of how wide to good to make it look good.

I have no problem with stock ride height. Where I live there are a lot of hills and lowered cars scrape big time. I also want use Akebono calipers from G37S so may have to use rear wheel setup from G37S or add spacers to G35S wheels.
