Tire size/VDC help

Hey guys, I'm going to be getting new tires and wheels soon. But I have a few questions I need answered.

I'm gonna be going with a 235/35/19 f, and 255/35/19r, on a 9.5/10.5 wheel. I do NOT want VDC issues.

Here are some of my findings:
Stock 18" specs
225/45/18 are 25.97h
245/45/18 are 26.68h

I am currently running:
245/35/19 which are 25.75h
275/35/19 which are 26.57h
Keep in mind that I don't have any VDC issues with this size.

The tires I WANT to run are:
235/35/19 which are 25.47h
255/35/19 which are 26.02h

Can anyone confirm that I will not have VDC issues with a 235/255 setup?

Or, you can look at the last stickied thread in this section and click on this link: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

As long as the overall diameter between the front and rear tires has less then a 3% difference, they will work.

I used the tire size calculator, I just wanted to verify. I don't think the tire size calculator knows our VDC quite like some of the users on here do.
