Note that 235/40R18 and 285/35R19 is the absolute largest tire combination to be safely installed on OEM rims, sans fooling around with spacers. Any fatter up front and the tire will conflict with the control arm nut. Ouch. And it is not recommended that a rear tire wider than 285 be mounted on the OEM width rim. Even 285 is a bit of a stretch, so you may want to settle on 275.
Good luck and enjoy the ride.
yes you may be right about that overall, Kane. perhaps the 235/40 F and the 275/35 R may be better or better overall. With this ratio you get 94 mm sidewalls in front, 96.25 in the rears vs 99.75 if you go 285/35's in back. So they'd probably fill the well just fine, and look even between the two.
The issue I'd see with the larger ones at the edge of the wheel safety margin is that it's stuffed onto the wheel, and let's say at speed you're pushing hard in the corner and stressing the bead, there's a distinct possibility of it popping off. Not good. But probably wouldn't happen.
