I vote for 245/40/19 all the way around. I'm dropped an inch and no rubbing at all.

I like the look and drive better than 35's. You mignt want to think about spacers as well with that high offset. I'm running coupe 19's that are +30 and +33.

Ye, the offset is making me put 235s instead of 245s. Spacers are still in the works and I'm trying to decide between 5mm and 10mm

I think you would be more likely to rub via the rim not the tire (in the front). The arm curves in pretty drastically past the rim. Test fit the rim and see if you need spacers. Honestly I think you should get some 10mm spacers for the front.

Borrowing this pic from another thread



Looks like your wheels will be 7mm (.3") closer to the arm.
I plugged the numbers into this wheel/tire calculator

http://www.wheelsmaster.com/rt_specs.jsp

I used
245/35 19 8.5" et38 for his and
245/35 19 8" et45 for yours.
Good luck.

Hey guys, just an update.

I purchased Yokohama AVS 245/35/19 all around. Here are some pics and I do need some spacers on the front but not more than 15mm:







And here is how close it is to the control arm on the front:
