19" tires for FD??????

Hey i just got a set of 19x8.5" front 19x9.5" rear Volk Racing LE37's for my FD and im trying to find tires. Right now i have Toyo T1-R but they're 285's in the rear with a 280 treadwear rating and im going down to a 265. The toyo's already dont hold enough if i boost over 12psi. I need something stickier. Any suggestions?

there have to be some lower treadwear tires for wide porsche sizes in 19"

Dcups has 19's on his FD, not sure if he runs sticky tires though.

That tire is gonna be too tall.

Also need to know the offsets of the wheels, +40 front and rear?

Ideally for the FD tire diameters:

235/35/19 and 265/30/19

OR

245/30/19 and 285/25/19
