you probably won't notice much of a difference between the two, in fact, there will be more of a difference related to the brand than the difference in those two sizes...
Are you trying to make something fit? Generally, the reason for stretching tires is to get a really wide tire tucked underneath a car - if what you have right now works, why change it?

looks like those two sizes should work out just fine for your wheel widths. you will be quite a bit shorter overall diameter in the front going from a 245/35 (26.77" dia) to a 235/30 (25.71" dia) but you shouldnt have a problem stretching them, im guessing your going smaller on the tire so you can dump it or add spacers?
