I am about to order tires and wanted to be sure 245/35 and 275/30 are the right sizes for these rim sizes. Typically I know 275/30 gets mounted on 9.5-10" widths. Would a 265/30 match the 245/35 better considering the width difference for the wheel is only .5"???

Also, offsets of the rims are 18mm 19X9 rear and 14mm 19X8.5 front. The car will be lowered with H&R sport springs and Koni Yellows.
