Default Tire size question

I currently have the new 19" Machined wheels with 245/45-19 tires on them.

I would like to get the 18" Bullitts, probably wider ones in back (F/R: 8"/9" or 9"/10"), and would like to maybe pick up a little tread width as well if possible

Can you recommend a good size that won't require a speedo gear change?

Maybe a recommendation on a couple of sets of tires that won't break the bank? I'm not opposed to getting a set of staggered sizes either. Seems like the rear tires are really skinny compared to the size of the car's rear.
How wide can I go in the front and not rub with standard offsets on the wheels?

Thanks!
Paul

This on a 2010 mustang? You might have to get a programmer to fix the speedo. I say 18x9 Front and 18x10 rear with a 305/35 rear.

You can use size 285/40-18 in the rear with 255/45-18 in the front.

Thanks Colin! Saving for reference. Will probably be looking to buy here in a few weeks or so.
