255/40/19 Front and 275/40/19 Rear???

I notice many OEM 19" owners are putting 275 in the rear. why not put 255's in the front instead of 245's? Should this be a even upgrade? Is this combination possible?

225/40/19 Front and 245/40/19 Rear

upgraded to:

255/40/19 Front and 275/40/19 Rear

This seems more even to me..Am I wrong for thinking this way?

I run 255/35/20s in the front and am having tire rub issues over bumps and aggressive turns. I was told by a tire/wheel shop that 245s would fix my problem. You're proposed setup is with 19s, but even still, would probably go with 45s in the front.

I'm trying to stick with 40 series tires. I know I can get a lot more options if I switch to 35 series. Maybe aftermarket 19" are better then OEM.

running 245/45 front and 275/40 rears and having no rubbing issues. actually wish i had gone with a lower profile aspect. tires seem too tall asthetically...maybe should have went for 40's up front and 35's in the rear.
