Default 19" tire question

I'm about to order my 19" x 9.5" and 19" x 8.5" wheels. I've been looking into tires and the ones I'm interested in don't have a 275/35 tire. Would it be okay to run 275/30 in the back and 245/35 up front? Would I encounter any TCS or ABS problems? Also has anybody used this wheel/tire setup? Thanks.

I'm not sure a 275 tire can fit on a 8.5" wheel. As far as the rear wheels you'll be fine. I have 275/30, 245/35 on 10.5/9.5.

I feel like an idiot. I meant to put 245 up front.

I had 275/30 on the back before and had a problem whenever I tried going into a steep driveway. The VDC would sound as if it was working without there being a need for it to. I don't know if it was the tire that caused this or not. I now have 275/35 and not only does it look better but there's more rubber to protect my wheel. Are there any other options for tires that you might want to go with?

The main problem is I don't want to spend $250 per tire. All the 275/35 tires I've seen are atleast that much. Also I don't have VDC, so that won't be a problem.

Does anyone have any pics of a Z with a 275/30? I don't think I'd have to worry about the roads too much here, but I don't want it to look goofy.
