Lots of options in this thread if you read through it (or even the last couple pages), but here's your spoon for a staggered setup with no rolling at stock height:

F/R = 9.5/10.5 +22 with 255/35 and 285/35
Those are way short. -0.94"F and -0.83"R. OK to use them together on a dropped car (for the sake of VDC if so equipped) but you still run the risk of wheel gap (minor deal) and screwing up the dynamic suspension geometry (a pretty big deal, at least to me). To do it right and maintain the original suspension geometry, go with 40s, e.g. 245/40-18, 275/40-18 (those sizes closest to OE) but 255/285 is fine.

If you are doing fender mods and possible camber changes (not recommended unless for pure show-no-go), then widen up the wheels and go to 275/305 combination. But honestly, unless you're tracking, such large tires are a detriment (or at least not optimal performance) for street and even hill duties because they'll never get up to optimal operating temperatures.
