You "can" run them on the front, but you changing up the tire sizes will affect rolling dameter and cause your speedo to be out. A 225 will roughly measure
26.08" and the 245 roughly 26.71". A 255/35/19 is pretty short so you might be worse off with them on the rear.

+1 on what lights out said... I just picked up a set of OEM 19s and im probably going to run a 245/40/19 all around. My speedo will be off by about 1mph but im willing to sacrifice that the option of rotating tires.

If you still want to run a staggered set up and want to increase the width, i would go with 245/35/19 up front and 255/40/19 rear.
