Default What tires sizes for 19x8.5 Front / 19x9.5 Rear?

Trying to avoid any / all clearance issues, don't want to do the hammer mod if avoidable.
Edit: Wheel offset is 35mm rear & 40mm front. I "may" add a spacer to the front depending on clearance to my new CTS-V brakes, not sure yet.
Initially I was thinking 275/30/19 on the rear and 265/30/19 on the front but I've come with more options...
- Will 285/30/19 fit within the wheel hub? It seems just slightly taller than the 275.
- Is it possible to put a 255/30/19 on the front or will I need a 35 sidewall profile instead or will either work?
- Lets say I ran a 255/30/19 on the front and 275/30/19 on the rear, the tire height difference is about half an inch...will I run into ABS issues?
- Any issue with 245/35/19 on the front with 275 or 285/30/19 on the rear?

I'm running 245/35/19 up front 19x8.5 wheels, rear is 295/30/19 19x9.5 and no issues at all. Lowered 1.5". As long as the offset of the wheels are right you shouldn't have any issues. You might want to give some info on the wheels offset etc..so people can respond to your question!

Wow, I had no idea there was that much room. Just wondering can I get any photos? (Not that I dont believe you I just want to see what it looks like.)
