what to size of tire to run in rear

I plan on purchasing a new set of rims. They are 19's front is 8.5/ rear 9.5 what is a good size tire to run on the rear? I plan on running a 245/35 in front. I'm lowered on eibach springs just don't want the rear to rub.

I'm considering the same size wheels and would like input as well. I'm thinking maybe 245/40/19 all around, or maybe 255/40/19 all aound. I might consider slightly taller or wider tire on the rear. The car will be wearing Progress lowering springs as well.

I have this same set up...I have 245/35 in the front and 255/35 in the rear....but I'm thinking about going 265/30 in the rear, but i don't know how that will look...I don't want them to stick out....but I know it'll fit the rim better....so if anyone has this set up how is it??

245/40/19's will definitely rub (on big dips), try the 255/35/19's.

Do some models have more tire clearance than others? I know I saw a 6th gen on here with 255/40/19s all around not long ago.
