best setup for 19" without rubbing

Hi every one i am new to this forum

I need help to choice a right offset and tyre setup for 19" wheel without rubbing the fender. currently the car is on 18x8.5 et35 225/40/18 all round without any issue but i want to upgrade it to this

19x8.5 et38 front 235/35/19
19x9.5 et43 rear 265/30/19

will this work? my main worry is the car already lowered with kw v2 coilover.

Thank you for your time

Roy.

people usually put 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 so i didnt know you could put bigger tires, pros and cons? i am about to buy a set but you made me wonder because where i live the road is in really bad shape so i could use bigger tires for protection
tires are for a set of m6 replicas ive just bought 19x8.5 front offset 35 and 19x9.5 rear offset 40

I had 275/30/19s in the rear, on 35 offset wheels, lowered on eibachs/konis, and I noticed that the passenger rear tire rubbed on occasion.

I would recommend 265/30s. GL.
