but its much heavier then the 265/30/19 no?. And would the stock csl rim fit on the 285/30/19? would this have any advantage to change to 285? better grip i suppose or?

As far as I remember Loaded is running 295 in the rear but don't have info on rim offset. It was a dream to drive with 265 in the front and 295 in the back. With 265 in the rear it was quite tail happy

I'll piggy back on this thread for similar sort of inquiry.

Will 245/35/19 at the front and 275/30/19 at the rear cause any type of issue?

Wider tyres = taller side walls as the 35 & 30 represent percentage of the tyre width so 35% of 245 is more then 35% of 235. This will increase lateral movement/flex of the tyre side wall and therefore the whole chassis Furthermore, your in car instrumentation, in particular the speedometer will give you false readings.
You're better off sticking to recommended OEM sizes and widen the track with good quality spacers

What good quality spacers do you recommend Matt?

What can I get away with on mine for the rear?

H&R 12 mm is what I used with that particular set of wheels mate and it's what I'd recommend for the rear only. Pic below to demonstrate.

I used to run 245 on the front and 255's on the rear - I like oversteer
245's gave better turn in and more grip up front.
