Why such a small sidewall in the rear? Are you lowered?

Tyre size are mismatched for overall diameter.

295/30R19 is ~659mm
255/40R19 is ~687mm

A better pairing is 295/35R19 in the rear, if such a size is available. If you wish to stick with the 295/30 rear profile (even though the ride will be harsh), try 255/35R18 at the front.

Since you've already purchased the rears at 295/30R19, a better match for the fronts would be 255/35R19. Diameter and sidewall will match. Here's a link to a tire size calculator.

You can get away with 265/35 19s in front.
