Offset and generation would be nice, but aside from that...

I would do 245/35 front, 255/35 rear...245/265 would be better, but it may rub

I would still say 245 front/ 255 rear then since 4th/5th gens have the rear beam...if you want to have the same sidewall look (slightly stretched like the rear) then 235 front, 255 rear....may have to roll the rear fender...

If your ambitious you can try 245/265, but I don't know if a roll will be enough to clear the fender (most likely you should be fine). How much are you lowered?

h-techs so 1.6 rear and 1.0 front
Wheels are 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear

I think 235 and 245 would look good I dont want to make any modifications to fender.

On my max I run 38 offset and 8.5 front 9.5 rear (2002 maxima) and I run 245 and 265... only time ever rubs is on HUGE dips on the back on one side due to rear beam centering issue (dropped quite low on coilovers)
