I really like 18 front and 19 rear. A 245/40/18 on a 8" wheel up front is 25.7" on a 18" rim, so 7.7" bigger then the rim, a 275 / 35 19 on a 9.5 is 26.6 tall, 7.6 bigger then the rim (we call that equal) so both the front and rear wheels have the same amount if tire around the rim, but you get 1" of wheels and tire stagger. Also,, i think the 26.6 tire fills the wheels well nicer then a 25.6 tire does.

JMO

here is a good example

I'm a fan of the 19" wheels.

19x8 fronts and a 19x10 rears look good, and the sidewall profiles will show a bit more sidewall on the rears than the front. My second choice would be the 18/19 combo like Frank suggested, and your sidewall heights would be the same front to rear, which is okay, but if I can show a bit taller sidewall on the rear than the front, I'd prefer to do that. Between the 245/35/19 and the 275/35/19 the overall height difference on your sidewall will be .53". The 245/40/18 and 275/35/19 combo differs in height by .90" and with the difference in diameter of wheel being an inch, the sidwalls are roughly the same. Again, not my first choice, but not a bad one either.
