Default help with taller tire size

here are my current specs:
19x8.5 Front - 19x9.5 Rear
+32 FRONT & +35 REAR
235/35/19 275/30/19

now my question:
the ride is a bit rough on these low profile tires,looking for a tire size that is a bit taller like a 40 or 45 series. i think by going up to a higher series i might gain more ride comfort.what sizes do you all recommend that i step up to?

Those are the right sizes if you want to maintain OEM diameter. If you want to go a little bigger, I would go to 40 series front and 35 series rear. This will make it 1" taller than OEM. This is the same diameter size most guys with 20s run. You may have to tweak the front fender a little but the rear should be OK. You might still rub the top of the wheelwells if you hit a dip (or if the suspension compress) big enough.
