275/35 on 19" wheels on the rear???
I was wondering why most 19" wheel owners are installing a 235/35 on the front and a 275/30 on the rear. Why not keep both front and rear tires with the same an aspect ratio of 35? Is it because the 275/35 will rub?

Because 235/35 and 275/30 has almost the same od. 275/35 will be about 1" bigger. Some people lower with coilover and do not want rubbing with minimal fender gap. I plan to go from 275/30 R19 to 275/35 because I lowered with Eibach and the fender gap is bigger in the rear. Now if i can only figure out which tire is the quietest. I hear Yokos are quiet even when they wear.

You are correct. I entered the tires sizes using discount tire's calculator and there is only a .02" difference in OD when using 235/35 & 275/30.
OEM is 225/40R18 & 255/40/R18
Why is the rear Lexus OEM tire .94" taller than the front?
I'm thinking that extra inch of rubber might ride smoother using the 275/35.

I put 235/35s in the front and 275/35s in the rear to keep the same aspect ratio that came with the stock IS350 tires (i.e. rear 1in greater diameter than front).
Whether or not you will rub will depend on the offsets of your wheels. I originally had Eibach springs and a +38 offset, and I had slight rubbing on one of the rear tires.

why do you want to have matching aspect ratios its irrelevant if they match or not, especially on the rear they need to be 30 for a 275 tire or the speedo will be off which in turn makes your odometer off

A 275/30 tire has a smaller overall diameter than the stock IS350 rear tire (by about 1/2"), so your odo is going to be off no matter what.
I don't know everything about a staggered tire setup, but I figure its good to keep the diameter ratio the same if you're going to be increasing the size of the front tire (which you do with a 235/35).
With a 275/35, the rear is about 1" bigger diameter than the 235/35, same as the 255/40-18 and 225/40-18.

I'm also planning on getting Eagle F1 GSD3 tires. My set-up will be 235/19/35F +35 and 265/19/30R +32. I'm lowered on Eibach Pro-kit. I noticed most members used the same tire specs. Will 30R be good or 35R? The only concern that I have is rubbing in the rear with a 35R set-up. What do you guys think?

You mean 235/35 in the front, right? You won't have any issues with that.
For the rear, a 275/35 is only about 1/2" greater in diameter than the stock rear tire. And for what its worth, a 235/35 is about 1/2" greater in diameter than the stock front tire.
I know a couple people who have this setup and had no rubbing issues. However, one of my rear tires rubbed slightly - I probably should have gotten a different offset. If you do rub with your set-up, fixing the problem could be as easy as rolling the fenders or as expensive as getting coilovers.
