Try looking at the below tire calculator.
http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp?
Its a great calculator to input your old tire specs, beside the new tire specs you want to go with. It will show you the diameter changes between the old and new proposed tire, and help you make a much more informed decision. If you keep the diameter close to what your original tires then your traction control will not know that anything has changed.
In the wheel sizes that your asking about I would go with:
1.) Front 275/35/18
2.) Rear 305/30/19
Most people with the rim size you have are going with the above tire sizes. Bridgeston Potenza RE050 has some good prices on the net in the sizes I mentioned above. Its what I plan to go with if I go to a 18/19 combo.
Just my opinion, but I hope this helps you make an informed decision.
