I've run 255/35 on the front with 275/35 in the rear with no issues. I'm currently running 245/40 in the front and 265/35 in the rear with the RE71s. When I was running Hankook RS3's the 255/275 sizes were nice and square in the cross section. With the really stiff sidewalls of the Bridgestone RE71s, the 255/275 sizes caused the shoulders to be more rounded and didn't really provide more contact patch. Dropping to the 245/265 sizes recovered a nice cross section profile and actually has about 5mm more contact patch width than the larger sizes did.
