you should be able to run 275/30 on the rears with a 9.5" wide rim. 245 might be a little small for that rim, not sure though. I'd think 255/35 minimum, 265/30 would probably be best. 235/35 fronts sound right, you might even be able to do 245's but I think I've read that 235 is the best size for our car.
What offsets are the rims? That part is critical.

I spent a few days researching this on this forum and benzworld and it looks like the best setup for staggered 8.5 and 9.5 is 235/35/19 and 265/30/19. There are pictures with a few cars with this setup lowered on supersports and no rub so thats what I went with. I have seen a 245/35/19 stretched on a 9.5 and its barely on the wheel, it almost looked dangerous. I'd stay away from that.
