AWD Tire Size .... Please help
Hey was thinking about getting some new 19 inch wheels
but the tires it comes with are
front wheels 19x8.5 with 245/35/19
Rear wheels 19x9.5 with 275/35/19
will I run into any issues?

yes, you will run into issues: tire size and tire/wheel clearance.
punch in those tire specs into the tire calculator @ 1010tires.com, and you'll see that the 275's are almost 3/4" taller.
and if i've been reading correctly, different-height tires will cause issues for your awd drivetrain.
also, if you're talking about those rays engineering wheels in the wheels/classified section, those 245/35 and 275/35's and those wheels w/ those +20's offsets won't fit without some considerable fender modifications unless you enjoy the tires rubbing up against the fenders.
either look at running narrower treadwidth tires and fender work, or take a pass on that specific set of wheels altogether.

if that's the case, you should hope that the OP either has the money (and the willingness) for new tires AND fender work, or he has a set of stock wheels/tires to drive around on.
