I have the same staggered set up, tyres should be 245/35/19 in the front and 275/30/19 in the rear to maintain the factory rolling diameter, if you use other sizes / profiles you will change the rolling diameter and this will effect your gearing and speedo accuracy.

Just curious: why would you run a smaller aspect ratio on a narrower tire in the front? I would think you would need a 35 front and 30 rear to maintain the standard diameters.
