Here's the thing....

245/35 and 285/30 have the exact same size sidewall height. But the catch is 285/30 requires a minimum 10" wide rim (technically). You probably can fit it on a 9.5 but its not recommend.

245/35 and 275/30 would be the most correct tire size for your setup even if the rear is just a hair shorter. But you can also do 275/35 in the rear is you don't mind the rear being just a bit taller than the front.
