Default tire size question?

So a couple of nights ago someone decided to slash my two rear tires as well as another car in the same lot . I have 19x8 in the front and 19x9.5 in the back as far as rim size. My front tire are 245/35/19 and my two rear tires were 275/35/19. There is a guy in my area thats selling 245/35/19 same brand as my front tires. Can i use the same size tire on my front and rear rims even tho the rim size is different? Would it fit? Would it drive just fine? Thanks for the help.

You "can" but it's certainly not ideal. A 9.5" wheel should have a 265-285 sized tire on it. You should get the proper size like you had before. You can run a different on the rear - the sizing is more important.

So you want to run the same size tires on different sized wheels? Hell no. You'll have a lot more stretch on the rear and it will look stupid. Just buy a pair of 275's. Yes it sucks, but I don't think 245/35 all around is a great idea.
