Default IS-F 19" wheels on an IS250 AWD

I just bought ISF 19" wheels for my IS250AWD. Can someone please help me figure out what tires I need. I'm told 235 35 19s would work, but that staggered: 235-35-19 front and 255-30-19 back could work with no worries about messing up the AWD system. thanks!

Does 225/35/19 & 255/35/19 work for an AWD?

No, they won't. You need the same rolling diameter front and rear for the AWD. This would be taller in the rear.

So therefore I need to have 225/35/19 all the way around?

I have 235/35 up front and 275/30 in the rear with no problems at all. That is under 1% difference in rolling diameter.

Do I need any offsets? I do not want to ruin my AWD. I heard that can happen easily.
