Default Need Some Help!! Rear Tires 285/30/19 Or 275/35/19?

Need Some Advice. I Ordered The Piaa Super Rozza's
Front 19 X 9 With 255/35/19 And
Rears 19 X 10 With 285/35/19.
Wheel Options Is Telling Me That The Toyo T-1r Do Not Come In 285/35/19 For The Rear.
That I Can Get The Rears In 285/30/19 Or 275/35/19!
Will The 285/30/19 Look Shorter Than The Front 275/35/19. Will The Look Fine? Or Am I Better Off With 275/35/19?

I Was Looking To Get 285's In The Rear But I Am Not Sure How 285/30/19 Would Look.
Thanks For Any Help You Can Give Me!!

285/30/19 is a full inch less diameter (25.7") than stock 26.7". if you have TCS/VDC, it MAY be unhappy. a 30 series tire will offer less rim protection and ride harsher as well.

my opinion, run 255/35 front and 275/35 rear, reduces stagger improving/reducing understeer. a 275 on a 10" wide rim won't look too stretched.

OR you could change your tire choice to one offered in a 285/35

hope that helps

Exactly, I went with a 285/35/19 on a 9.5 in the rear and everything is okay. The rim is like .02 bigger or something small like that. Bridgestone RE050 A's are really good but their wet traction isn't that great.

Yes I Do Have Vdc. Also The Offset Is +25.

I've Heard Some Guys Say That The 285/35 Has A Taller Side Wall. And Taht It Doesn't Match Up With The Front Tires 255/35 Some Others Say 285/30 Would Look Better.
What Do You Think?
Thanks For The Help Guys.
