ARK 270 Rims - Need to pick tire sizes!

[JDM_Man]

Rim Size: 19x9.5 +25

Thinking about running either of these set ups, thoughts?

Option 1-
Front: 245/35/19
Rear: 275/30/19

Option 2-
Front: 255/40/19
Rear: 285/35/19

Reasoning:

*Option 1* is pretty close to stock regarding circumference and side wall thickness. It will increase the gap between the side wall and fender by about .10 of an inch. My plan is to get ARK GT-F lowering springs (1.25 inches lowered for AWD). I feel like there would still be a decent about of gap as this is the most tame lowering option. Would be good for adding width with out really messing with anything else. This setup would lower the car a total of 1.35 inches

*Option 2* will decrease the gap between the side wall and fender by about .45 of an inch, paired with the GT-F lowering springs at 1.25 inches I feel this would pretty much fill the wheel well while not having to drop the car excessively. I do daily drive my car and I'd like to avoid bumps and scrapes so I don't really want to lower the car per say, but considering the tire raises the drive height by .45 inches I would really only get a .8 inch drop while still filling the wheel well. I feel like this would be good for daily driving.

Honestly I wouldn't go with either option and pick a narrower wheel for the front. Any tire that is going to fit is going to look stretched on a 9.5" wheel. If you like the stretched look than go for it, otherwise, even if you lower the car, you're always going to see a gap between tire and fender because of the stretch. You won't get that nice square flush look.

For the options you list though, i'd go with 1.

Option 2, your front and rear tires are too big and are outside the allowable 3% tolerance in variance from stock. You may also rub the strut up front as that is an aggressive offset with a beefy tire.
