245/255 35 series tires for front and 285/295 35 or 30 series in the back and you should be fine. You might hit your bump stops with that low a spring on hard or rough terrain (like michigan potholes or speedbumps)! JMO but they are the standard for this rim size ( I am running the same rim sizes....)

I have 255 35 20 & 295 30 20, but to play it real safe you can sub your rears w/ 275 35 20.
