A 285/35/19will it work?....I have a 19" wheel that is 9.5 inchs wide. i have a 275/30/19 on it now and i have no problems. will this little increase in the sidewall give me any problems?

What size is on the front?
Did you check the Top 100 Questions thread, there's a post in it that explains how to determine the proper F/R stagger.
My guess is that it's going to cause problems. 285/35 is over 1½" taller than the 275/30. Assuming you already had some F/R stagger, this is going to make it even more. The recommendation is to stay between 0.25 and 1" of stagger.

If you have a proper front tires, 275/35 or 285/35 is the proper rear tire.
By "they" do you mean 245/35 285/35? Yes, they will probably work but the OD difference is a little high (1.1"). You might have VDC kick it at odd times, it just depends on the tolerance of your car.
The preferred pairings are 245/275 or 255/285 as those keep the stagger under 1".
Thanks for the question that you could have answered about one thousand times over from one simple search. 285/35 is more correct to stock diameter than 275/30.
I'm somewhat surprised you're not already having problems with 245/35 and 275/30. With that setup your fronts are taller than your rears and that almost always causes VDC/TCS problems, especially on the older models like the 03. Accelerating into turns, highway speeds, etc. should be causing the Slip light to appear.
What if you had a 275/35/19 square setup? Would that cause any problems? I would think not since all wheels and tires are moving the same rotation at the same rate.
Normally, it doesn't cause a problem. I have used a square setup for autocross and track use for years and rarely have TCS/VDC kick in when driving to/from events. Some cars appear to be more tolerant than others with little or no stagger.
