Front
19x8.5 ET 20 / Hankook V12 245/35/19
Rear
19x10.5 ET 20 / Hankook V12 275/35/19
I know the specs on these are a bit dramatic with the 2" difference from front to back. I am not too concerned with the overall performance given I don't drive the car very hard or aggressively.
Here are some photos - my biggest concern is up front. The wheel extends just the slightest bit out past the fender. I am concerned about the tire hitting the fender on compression / bumps. I have H&R Sport Springs which I have not installed. It would complete the look but the fitment would be even tighter. Would the front spring travel be reduced with the Sport springs?

As others have said, I don't think you will have any clearance problems at all, but make no mistake, you will be giving up compression travel with the shorter Sport Springs!
