Default 19 Front wheels

this is for my 69 camaro-
on the rear im using a 275/40r19 on a 19x9.5 rim

on the front im using a 19x8.5 rim
should i go with 245/45r19 or a 245/40r 19?

id like the car low and no rubbing issues.

245/40/19 is 26.6" tall. On a lowered front end you need about 25.5" or shorter for the front.

that is a little narrower than i want. i think im going to try the 245/35. its like right at 26". i just at least want the tread width even with the edge of the rim.
