or i might get 235/40/19 Pirelli PZero Nero

You're better off getting the Hankook 245/35s, it's not adviseable to mix brands and tread designs mainly for stopping ability. I'm running 245/35s (F) & 275/35 (R) Michelin's without issues....Gary

I had 285/45/20 on the rears, yea it was a temporary thing until my new stock size tires came in. Now the VDC, ABS, and Slip come on after 1/2 mile of driving. I called the dealership for some info. and they basically said it was a hard code that popped up due to the irregular wheel size. They said itll cost $180 for them to clear a simple code. Any suggestions?

ECM doesn't "learn how the tires are" if the overall diameter is greater than 3% difference between the front and the rear then the VDC system thinks it's slipping and will trip itself.

225/40 R19 is 26.1" diameter
265/40 R19 is 27.3" diameter
The difference between those two is 4.6% they will not work on the G35
