Thanks for the help guys. I am going to be running these on the factory 19" rays with some spacers. I was messing with the calculator and that is when my question came up about the front tires. The 285/35 rears are going to be 26.9 tall and if I went with a 255/40 front then they would come in right at 27.03. If I went with a 255/35 front, it would come in at 26.03. Since I now know you want a taller tire in the front than the rear, it sounds like the 255/40 up front would be the best match with the 285/35 rear tires.
