As long as you have the same overall diameter, you're ok.

I'd go with 245/30 or 245/35 on all four corners since you will be running​ 8.5 all around.

You could also use a 235/35/19.
Good luck fitting that +22 on the front.

Don't know if both 8.5 is a typo or the real thing. If it is, I'd have use the same specs front and back.

Whatever you do, don't go bigger than 245 in the front.. You will rub if you do.
