Default Help with tire/wheel sizes (What i have and will get)

I ordered C6Z replicas in 18x9.5+56 for the front and 19x10+65 in the rear.

I am looking to purchase tires right now and I am looking at Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 2 K120 tires.

275/35/18 for the front
285/35/19 for the rear

Right now the car has:
19x9.5+40 front with pilot look alike china tires 245/35/19
It's a tight fit

19x9.5+40 rear with good year rsa 245/45/19 (almost 28" tall!) it rubs due to height but right at edge.

I reckon the rear will be fixed just fine with the 285/35/19

For the front I am concerned how will that 275/35/18 fit? 18x9.5+56

This tire should be a little shorter than the 245/35/19, it will be pushed in some.

Anyone fit this kind of combo before? I want to place the order but need help deciding...

I'm not an expert by any means but have been down this road several times myself, I think with the wheel size your getting you would be better off with a 295/30/18 rear and either the 275 or 265/35/18 front, I'm running tsw wheels currently with 19 rear 18 front 305/30/19 and 265/35/18, I just ordered new wheels which are a tad wider at 11 inches rear and 10 front and went with 275/35/18 and 305/30/19

Isn't that too short?

295/30/19 is 25.9843 inches
265/35/18 is 25.315 inches

And that's only a 0.6693 inch difference isn't it suppose to be 1" for traction control? I normally drive without but still..

hopefully someone else that has run a similar set up will chime in, my set up isn't much more than that, and I've never had any issues.
