How do you figure that the 275/35 would be a better matched to the front 245/35 than the 275/30? If you look at the numbers below, you'll see that the 275/30 is a lot closer to the 245/35. The 275/35 is much taller than the 245/35 fronts. On the other hand, if you can fit 285/30, that would be perfectly matched to the fronts. I'm thinking about trying out 285/30 on my next set, but not sure if I want to chance it with rubbing issues.

245 x 0.35 = 85.75 mm sidewall
275 x 0.35 = 96.25 mm sidewall
275 x 0.30 = 82.50 mm sidewall
285 x 0.30 = 85.50 mm sidewall
