It all depends on how low you wanna go. How thick of a profile you like. Do you like the stretched look? You have to take all these things into consideration when choosing the proper tire size. Let me know some of these things and i will let you know what you will need.

I am running:
19x8.5 +30 offset at 235-35-19 on the front
19x9.5 +38 offset at 275-30-19 on the rear
I had about 3/4" gap all around and it did not rub. But I roll the fender because just in case if I have passenger on the back seat.
Now I lowered the car with no finger gap all around via using Tein SS coilover and it is starting to rub on dips. So I had the setting at the hardest to minimize the rubbing.

i'm just going for the bigger tire on the back for the look, i don't do any crazy driving so handling is NOT huge to me, i'm more worried about ride quality and looks

no, i want a bigger lip on the rear wheels, the actual look of the tire isnt that important, I just want something to compliment the bigger wheel, so i know i need two different sizes just not sure what sizes, anybody have a answer with tires numbers, just like rodneyc77, i just want to get an overall consesus from everybody so i know which direction to head in

Just chiming in, in regards to the handling with a staggered set up. I have 245's in the front and 275's in the rear and I have not experienced any noticeable decline in handling, in fact I have noticed a significant increase in handling but that is probably a result of my Z rated tires hugging the road better. You will notice a difference in acceleration with the bigger wheels and tires. They obviously weigh more than your OEM wheels so you will suffer in performance off the start. I'm not taking my car to the track and I don't go around trying to race anyone so I don't care. I love the staggered look and have gotten many compliments on the car. Do whatever "YOU" like and don't pay too much attention to other people's comments when it comes to aesthetics. Everyone has an opinion. Oh and I agree those ebay wheels look nice but remember..."YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR". When they crack from the first pothole or curb you run over you will kick yourself.
