Default Smaller profile rear tires?

So about two weeks ago i was driving my is250, when on of the rear tires blew out. The wheels are 19' linea corse with 255/35 in the front and 265/35 in the back. Today i went to a local tire shop and they sold me some used tires in great condition (except for a bit of fender rub on the sides). I got home and realized the rear tires are 275/30. My question is, will this throw my car off in any way because the rear is a bit thinner? Will they rub less than they used to? Basically, is it gonna be alright to drive?

So long as your car is not AWD, should be no problem at all..

I actually had those tires on for about a week and one of them blew out. So i decided to get a bigger profile. Now its 275/35 in the rear
