Quick question about tire sizes

Hi folks.

If I have an 8 1/2 x 19" rim with a 225/35/19 tire in the front, what size tire is recommended on the rear with a 19x 10 1/2" rim so I don't get any slip or VDC light?

Thanks guys/gals.

275/30/19 would match it good diameter wise.

I guess the 225-35 is what you are stuck with and you're just trying to match the rear?

Because off hand, the 225-35 is a touch small vs an OEM G35 front tire.
