285/30-19 will work in the back. Could push it up to 295/30-19, but a 10" width is at the low end of the wheel width range for the 295.
245/40-18 will work in the front.
With those two sizes, the tires diameters will be equal. That will result in the front sidewall being 1/2" taller than the rear, which some people don't like.
As far as "type", it depends on the weather you drive in.... best performance will come from a "high performance summer" tire, but wet weather will be weak, and they will be useless in snow. All-weathers grip inder a wider range of conditions, but they will have a lower all-round performance.
