Tire Size Question

I ordered 19x9.5" SVE Drift wheels and I am looking to order Nitto Invos for them.

I want tires that are close to the stock height, and it looks like a 285/35-19 is about as close as I can get in the Invo, at least in a tire that is wide enough for me.

Anybody run 285's all the way around on a 5.0? My car is lowered on Eibach Pro Kits, so its lower but not dumped.

I know, if i could do it all over again ( this is my second wheel change...), i'd go with 305/30's rear. My front tires are 275/40's. I tried at first the 45's and didn't like the look, so i ended up with 40's all around. Thing is the car sits lower in the front by about 1/2 inch or so. I used FRPP 1" springs, again if i'd do it again, i'd go with 1.25" rear springs to get a better balance. BTW, i ain't changing wheels again.....
