I ran the 255/35-19 285/35-19
I dont know what the deal with the 40 series up front is for? what are you trying to accomplish? am I missing something? or is it a typo?

no pics because I have winter tires. you can go to
www.violentracing.com and check out the cars on there. The silver roadster (click on the cars link) is running that set-up that I will be running for summer tires.

i had 255/40/19 and 285/35/19 and the slip light would engage on sharp turns.
so i would not get these sizes.
just remember, the rear tire has to be taller than the fronts.

why not get 255/35/19, which will fit perfectly with the 285s.
