Those are the correct tire sizes you should be using on your car for a 19 inch staggered set up.

Actually 285/30/19 is closer in diameter to the 245/35/19 and should be used if found-I prefer it as the 275/30 has a smaller sidewall and smaller overall diameter and more than anything the look is not as good as if the rear tire is atleast as high of a sidewall as the front-

Go with 285/30/19 in the rear
