this is what I have to choose from
19x10.5J +43 +30 +30 +18 +18 +5 +5 -8
19x11.0J +49 +37 +37 +24 +24 +11 +11 -2 -1 -14

Glad I could help...I have a bit of experience with the front too, however it's with stock ride height and alignment...again.

With that said, I have a 285/35R19 on the original front Nismo wheel (19x9.5 +40mm) and they weren't quite flush with the fender. So, I installed 10mm spacers and now they're perfectly flush. That makes the wheel effectively from a +40 offset to a +30 offset because of the 10mm spacer.

The 295 tire is 10mm wider than the 285 tire, so it'll stick out 5mm more on each side. That would make the 19x11 +37 a good fit with a 295/35R19 tire...on stock ride height and alignment that is...but it should be a good fit for your setup as well.

Only thing is, a 10" wheel is more suitable for a 295 than an 11" wheel. Reason being is that the 12" rear wheel with a 345 is gonna give you a slight bubbly look, while the 11" with a 295 will look straight or even slightly stretched, making your front and rear tire to wheel look different. If you don't care about that, it's gonna work just fine.

345mm=13.58"...that's a 1.58" wider tire than the 12" wheel.
295mm=11.61"...that's only a 0.61" wider tire than the 11" wheel.

With a 10" wheel that'll be a 1.61" difference, almost same as what it will be in the rear so you'll get a more uniform look.

10.5" will also be fine, however the offsets you posted aren't ideal as it seems. +43 is too far in, +30 could poke out slightly out of the fender... Although it'll probably be fine too.
