Talking newbie has question about tire size

i am a newbie that recently sold my s2000 for and got a 06 g35 to start a new project which means i am learning all new stuff. my question today is i have some volk GT-7 wheels 19x9.5F 19x10.5R with 24 and 30 offsets. i will be running bfg kdw tires so for the fronts it seems everyone runs 245/35/19, but what should i run for the rears 275/35/19 or 275/30/19. also if it makes a difference i will be lowering the car modestly with either tein H techs or tanabe NF210. any advice or expert opinions on any of this would be greatly appreciated.

Id go with 255/35/19 and 285/35/19. You'll be very happy with the BFG's. I had them on my last set of wheels and loved em.

255/285

keep in mind with 285s in the rear youll want to roll your fenders with either of those drops, imo.

He may clear in the rear since his offset is relatively high. Depends on what is camber is at.
