Advice for tyre sizes (F30 19 inches set-up)

Hello guys thanks for the help in advance.

I used to have a set of 405M 20" for my F30 with PSS in the official setting.

Now I have traded them and got a set of Advan GT racing 19 inches:-

19x8.5J, 35mm Inset
19x9.5J 35mm Inset

I am looking to get a most aesthetically pleasing set up for tyres. Brand wise I will buy either Michelin Sport Cub 2 or Bridgestone RE71R.

Currently I am using KW V-3. With these new tyres and rims I am merely looking to keep the official offset settings.

Any suggestion guys and girls?

OEM 19" wheels are 19x8 +36 F, 19x8.5 +47 R. you already have the wheels so i'm not sure what you mean by wanting to keep the "official offset settings".

also, i'm not sure what "aesthetically pleasing" is to YOU. some like stretched, some don't mind tire size slighty over optimum. i like tire width optimum or slightly over, for the associated rim width and OEM or slightly greater than OEM diameter, if possible. do you want 10mm, 20mm, or 30mm stagger?

235/40/19F, 255/35/19R
235/40/19F, 265/35/19R my thought is you'd like this combo
245/35/19F, 265/35/19R
245/35/19F, 275/30/19R

Thank you for your detailed explanations. I am a newbie into tyres/rims territory so your help is really appreciated.

In this new set of rims and tyres. I am minded to keep the original camber setting. I want to have the most suitable "low profile" tyres that will not cause rubbing or damage to fenders.

Since my car is RWD, I will like to have staggered setting. However I have decided how much the difference should be.

I don't think I am keen on stretched tyres. Definitely optimum sizing for me.
