Default Tire suggestion please- 1st set of aftermarket wheels

In about 2 weeks these wheels will be in:

WORK SC1 MSP 19x8.5 +35 R disk and 19x9.5 +32 0 disk regular lip

Car = 2008 IS250 RWD
stock height

I could use some suggestions on what tire size for them. I probably won't lower it and would like to keep the overall height no more than what comes stock. I am all for slamming it with coils and stuff, but this is my daily driver and I don't want to run, scrape or have any hassles. I don't think the stock height is bad but I don't want to look like a 4x4 either

What size tire would you recommend? I commute mainly 65 hwy miles a day in Dallas tx. I would be grateful for some good advice because I don't want to mess it up. Any company you would suggest would be great also

I"m running on the same rim specs as you and my front tires are 235/35/19 and rears 265/30/19. I'm lowered on Eibach Pro-kit and there's no rubbing.

Ok so my wheels will be at my house in a few days. 235/35/19 and rears 265/30/19 should be ok for sure? Any other suggestions?

if you want to go lower....i suggest not to get 235 because it will rub the pastic, and it's annoying, the hole is getting bigger and bigger. so get 225!..and the rear, it's not really matter at this point.
