Question Need some tire advice?

I've been looking through as many threads as possible about what people are running for tires, but I just can't decide on what sizes to get. I plan on picking up some RE-11's though...

My wheel setup will be:

Volk TE-37SL Wheels
19x9.5 +22 Front
19x10.5 +12 Rear

(I'm lowered on Swift Springs already)

So initially I was thinking the following tire sizes staying conservative as I dont want to run into rubbing issues and what not:
245-40R19 Front
285-35R19 Rear

^This is the same size wheels and tires of the Nismo... which is why I figured it'd be fine.

But would I be better off going at least one size wider in the front for less tire stretch? My only concern with this is I then have to go with smaller side walls to get the desired widths.
255-35R19 Front
285-30R19 Rear

^ The overall tire diameters are then smaller and I imagine it will throw the speedo off.

Any input would be much appreciated as I plan to order tires tomorrow!

I like this setup, but I didnt find exact specs on it. Maybe 265F/305R? (seems to be common):
