21" Tire size recommendation

I have just got a hold of a set 21" wheels for my M550 which are 8.5x21 in front and 9.5x21 rear

Anyone running with this setup who can share what tire sizes you are running? I was thinking of 255/35-21 in front and 285/30-21 rear

I would recommend 245/35/21 fronts and 275/30/21 or 285/30/21 rear to keep the same diameter.

I did 255/35/21 fronts and 295/30/21 rears which is same diameter but it rubs in the fronts especially when I reverse out of my driveway while turning, going straight it never rubbed.

Thank you very much for your input. After doing some investigation I have also come to the conclusion to go with 245/35-21 front and 275/30-21 rear.
