The tire sizes you listed are not possible to fit. They are 1" taller than OEM and will rub significantly. Ideally you would be able to install 275/30/19 and 295/30/19 but unfortunately 295's will rub the painted fender in the rear. You need et25 or higher to run 295's on a 10.5" wheel. Here is what I would suggest:
255/35/19 front 275/35/19 rear The tires will be stretched slightly. Go with Yokohama AD08's to minimize the stretch (ad08's run wide so they won't look as stretched as other brands). Or 265/30/19 front 285/30/19 rear There aren't a lot of desirable tires available in these sizes and I don't like how short the 265/30 sidewall is. You could also pair a 275/30/19 with a 285/30/19.

Go on tire rack and look at the tire diameter specs that you are considering. Try to find tire sizes that are close to the OEM diameter. Installing tires significantly taller than OEM results in rubbing issues.

What's the rear set-up on the car above? I wanted to go 295 on the rear for my 18" TE37sl but I am worried about rubbing issues.

Slicer nailed it...a 275/35/19 would rub so bad it wouldn't be funny, not from the width but due to the height of the tire.

295/35/18 on the rear of a te37 will rub the painted fender due to the wheel offset. 285/35/18 fits well. Some people run 295/30/18 tires on te37's but I have never been a fan of that size because it's 1" smaller than OEM. The only time I would consider that size is if I wanted to run R-Comp tires which are not available in larger diameter sizes.

Running 275 all around dials out some understeer... or dials in some oversteer depending on how you look at it. Kinda strange on staggered wheel setup but it works with a 10.5x18 ET20 wheel. Problem is there are not that many 285 options in ultra summer performance tires aside from RS3s I believe. I run 285 Falken FK453s right now. They are basically equivalent to a PSSs and not a bad max performance all season tire.

I was about to order 285/35/19 and 265/35/19 falken 453's but wanted to do some more research before I did. Wanted to avoid fender work, think that'll work? Just posted some pics of how my car looks right now

contemplating getting te37 19x9.5 21 and 19x10.5 22... would OEM ZCP tires be too stretched on these rims? kinda don't want to go through the trouble of selling my existing tires and getting new ones (ultimately i want beefier tires but i'm hoping i can wait until i'm done with my existing tires)

E92 you need to go down to 295/30/18 to avoid rubbing. Back when I wrote my responses above (in 2014) I was big on the larger diameter tires (35 series). Since then I have gone to R-comp tires and 295/30 series tires are far more available. If I had a supercharged car I would likely go to the now available 11 et34 TE37 for F8x. That spec gives you more flexibility. 10mm spacer with a 295. 3 to 5mm spacer might allow you to fit a 305/35/18.
