As others have said I'm running 245/40s (Falken FK452s) all around. I rub a bit in the front on very steep inclines (very rarely happens). My fenders are not rolled and I don't rub in the rears (don't have a camber kit, if I dialed my camber in I would rub for sure). I've gone on a road trip with a trunk full of luggage and still didn't rub, was very close though. Will be going lower soon and installing a rear camber kit, definitely will need to roll my fenders.
Next set will probably be 245/35 and 255/35 because I won't be worried about filling the wheel gap anymore once I'm lower. But I'll have to find another tire to go with because Falkens don't come in 255/35.

Kumho Ecsta SPT --(F)245/35/19 -- (R)255/35/19
This size and brand has worked great for me. It has a good ride quality, especially when you consider 19" size and 35 series. Naturally my spring-setup helps b/c it is the same spring rate as my stock sport springs mated to sport shocks/struts. Size options are good along with prices. No wear issues b/c I have no extreme negative camber--more neg. camber than stock, but less than a coupe. No camber kit, but my suspension guru did a slight mod to the rear stock camber arms. I'm rolled in the rear as a precaution b/c I did not want to rub in any circumstance. I never have rubbed and I don't need crazy tire-killing camber to accomplish this.

I'm running 245/40/19 on A34 Nismo wheels. I went with the Falken fk-452 and I would highly recommend them. They look great and have been really good in the dry and wet. They are not noisy at high speeds and the ride is great.
Also I'm dropped on revised Z springs/shocks up front and coupe springs/z revised shocks out back and I think it looks good. Wheels are 19x8.5 with +35 mm offset and they are almost flush, if not flush, with the fender. I have no rubbing issues with the tires on driveways. I did roll the rear fenders slightly but not much.
