I think one of your options is a site where you can compare dimensions of rims AND tires to see how they differ from stock or whatever you are currently running. Typically staying with a few points of the factory specs is recommended for multiple reasons, one of them being tire rub as well as stress to a all wheel drive system.

For reference I have 245/30/R20 front tires and 325/25/R20 rear tires, unfortunately I do not have the widths handy, however the above sizes work with a Bilstein renamed coil over from Tech Art. I will try and find the width dimension and post when I do.

I'm not confident those fronts will fit. I have BBS E07 19x9 et47 on the fronts. they are fairly flush... not too aggressive and there is room to push it out more. I am lowered on Bilstein coil-overs and have no rubbing whatsoever under any condition.

Wheel offset calculator says your front wheels would extend 5.7mm inwards (probably OK) and 19.7mm outwards (probably an issue) in comparison to mine. This is a big differnce in stance. You would probably need GT2 fender flares and even then it still might not look right.

Also, I have 19x12 et48 in the rear (same as you). it matches flushness of my fronts pretty well. if you have these rears and run the fronts you are thinking, I think the fronts will stick out much too far in comparison with the rears and look odd. if you are going to push the fronts, you need to push the rears equally.
