255/35/19 in the front and 275/40/19 in the back.

From what I gather, the sidewall is 3.5" on the 35s and 4.3" on the 40s....is that going to look really stupid? Not dropped and no spacers currently.

255/35R19 is a little short, yes. The 255/40F 275/40R already gets you some rake. 255/35 will just be even more exagerated rake, with a little extra wheel gap in front.

I’d stick to 255/40

I've got the 255/35/19 already and they have decent tread on them so I don't want to chuck them...just wondering what it'd look like with the 275/40 out back. Those need replacing and that's the size I'm going with. I don't mind a raked look.

The ride height with the 255/35 will look raked, but the wheel gap will look the opposite, and IMO, will look bad. Stick with the 255/40. What size wheels?

The ultimate plan will be to have 255/40 up front...but for now I will have the 255/35 because they have more than 80% Last summer I had 255/35/19 square on PP wheels, so fixing the rear will a step in the right direction. I'd just hate to toss these tires is all.

I run the PP wheels in the summer.

We're about to find out, at the shop now. 275/40/19 in the back and 255/35/19 up front. I'll run it that way until the tread gets a little lower.
