I have the:
245/35/19X8.5 Front
275/30/19X9.5 Rear
Setup on my GS400, looks sweet, no rubbing issues. Guess it would be dependent on offset though.

i think you should go with the tires that will provide as much traction as possible, but yet not rub. if the wheel tech suggest going with 235(front) 265(rear) then you should go for it. at least you know that u can blame him if they do rub. and i'd take the tires back to him and demand an exchange. you wont know for sure which size to go with until you do a trial and error attempt. if these dont work, you can blame the tech for it

I was SO close to getting these wheels before I got my current set. They are a great looking wheel. There are quite a few cars in my area running them though - there is a silver M3 just down the street from me that has a nice staggered set of 20's. It looks proper.

I have these wheels in teh 19" version and they are good. Got em from D2. Check with him, think they are around 1200 or so from him. I am slammed on Tein and no issues 245/35 and 275/30. If you are on springs you will be more than fine.
