235-35s or 255-35s?

245-35 in the contis are back ordered untill the middle of May...I will have 285-30-19s in the back and wondering if 255s in the front will fit?

The rims are 19x8.5 (+30) and 19x10 (+36).

Any help would be appreciated. The 3rd alternative is to get 245s/285s in Hankooks for hardly any price drop, hence the reason I chose the conti's.

Thanks!

go with a 245/35 it will match the rear tire visually in terms of side wall height

By matching in terms of sidewall height, you are referring to visually in the overall diamter i assume? Makes sense altho my stock 18s today are (F)25.7 & (R) 25.3....using 19s in 245/285, that becomes (F) 25.8 & (R) 25.7....and using 255/285, that is (F) 26 & (R) 25.7.

Seems like the height/diameter ratio for all 3 are very close...

Thought....anyone?
