Default 235/245 set up?

i recently just bought rear tires 245/35/19. i was running 225(70% tread more wore in the inside from lowering) in front but thinking i should now replace the fronts too??, but to match the rear tires i would have to get 235, (they dont make 225) would this work? what kind of problems could this cause? Or should i just hold out and wait till they both wear out and get 235/255?

The height is going to be off. I would say that it is probably going to be fine. Height is about 1/4" different.

i mean is this enough stagger?... if i kept the fronts would an alignment hold since the insides are more worn? would this affect handling?

The handling will not be the same as stock because of the difference in the stagger front to rear. I would think the 225 in the front would be better but if you end up with different tires front to rear that is not a good thing either.
