Tire size on 19" staggered rims?

Hi everybody. This is my first post, so please be nice to the newbie haha! Anyway, I'm a girl from Guam and I drive a black G35 coupe.

So... I'm leaning towards buying these 19" Stern ST-1 Face III Beast rims in Hyper Black on Monday. The store recommended that I get 235 35's for the front and 275 30's for the rear. Would these sizes look good on my car at stock height? If not, what size would be best?

<center><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b59/atomik671/stern.jpg"></center>

The rims are staggered... 19x8.5" (offset 20) in the front and 19x9.5" (offset 35) in the rear.

Opinions guys? Suggestions? Thanks in advance!

My rims and tires came off a coupe. The tire specs are 245/35/19 up front on 19/8.5 inch rims 35 offset, and 275/35/19 on the rear on 19/9.5 inch rims 34 offset.

245/35/19 and 275/35/19 are the correct sizes to run

+1... You can go wider than 235 on the front, and a 30 profile 275 on the rear often looks too "skinny". No need to go lower than 35 on the rear profile.

Sorry to thread jack, but i have 9.5/11 and America's Tire recommended i get at least 275 for a 9.5" wide rim (i only need a set of front tires). What size should i get 245 or 255 since those seem to be the most common size people get.
