I have 255/40 up front and 285/40 out back... ...within five minutes of staring at my new wheels and tires, I have decided to go with 255/35 and 295/35 the next time around.

I thought that 285 was fitted to a 10 inch width and 295 was for 10.5?
The 295 will give you a nice pooch like the 245/45R17 on the stock wheels(8" wide rims with tires desgined for 8.5")

Excellent Choice.
But you really don't need 275 up front(unless you had the same tires in the back and were going to rotate them), 265 or 255 will be fine.
