Default Tire selection help

Hey guys,
I was wondering if you could help me out with tire size selection. For rims that are 19x8.5 fronts and 19x10 rear, what would be the best choice?

I checked the tire calculator and i found that the 225/35/19 for the front and 265/35/19 was the best size for the rear in terms of getting close to the same revs per mile.

Is there a better combo?

You could go 255/35 for the rear since 10" rim is the maximum width the tire can take but probably better on 9.5" instead.

Depending on your taste if dont want the lip sticking out past the tire, could step the wheel down to 8.0 and 9.0 front and back respectfully.

I am on 19x8.5/19x9.5 with 215-35 and 225-35, no issues when they were mounting. For a 10, you can easily do 245-35. There are plenty of people who are running 235-35 on 19x10.
