which tire combo to use?
Im debating to keep my Wedssport sa67r wheels, my question is what tire combo would look the best? Should I roll my fenders or keep them stock?
Fronts: 19 x 9 +35
Rears: 19 x 10 +42

I'm not a fan of 19s, but those are badass wheels. Consider moving to 18s.
The offsets arent bad, you'd be ok in the rear depending on tire width and would probably need a slight roll in the front.
If you decide to keep them, tire sizes that I'd recommend would be 235/35-19 in front and 285/30-19 in back. Ride height is a bit more than stock, but going +3 inches on the rims you can't really help it. The thinner front tires should help a bit to save your fenders. Michelin PS2 are available in these sizes.

I want some better sidewall in the rear and if I went with a 285/35 zr19 rear what tire would look best in the front matching the sidewall height, 255/35 ?
I dont like seeing wheel combos where the rear has almost no tire and the fronts look bigger and i would rather just buy the right combo first any suggestions would be awesome!
remember that the series (the 30) in 285/30R19 is a percentage of the width (285) so a 235/35r19 has very close sidewall height to a 285/30r19. (4.1 cm on the 235 and 4.28 cm on the 285)
if you want a 285/35 in rear would be close to a 255/40 but i do not think it would fit

So after some calculations in order to have the same tire size Im going to run 285/30/19 rear and 245/35/19 fronts this will give me an equal 25.8" in both the front and rear
thanks for the help guys!

Best looking is in the eye of the beholder. Personally, I like to see a little more rubber.
However, matching tire sizes, based on diameter as you noted above is the right direction!
The tread pattern 'style' is up to you. Those sizes will look nice and fat, esp from the rear!

So I just bought some new 285/35/19 Bridgestone RE050a tires for the rear, so for the fronts everyone feels that a 235/35 would look best? Just need some inputbefore I buy, thanks guys!

So I just ended up going with the bridgestone 285/30/19 RE050A rears, and with the bridgestone 255/30/19 RE050A rft in the fronts.
I figured with the extra weight of the 3 rotor in the front the run flats were a good choice just incase..... here are some pics.....

I like the RE050A's, have had them awhile on my stock rims and their really great when conditions are good. when its wet out tho, thats when the fun really starts and the rear comes out almost incidentally! hows the ride comfort with 19s ?
The ride comfort is fine in my opinion all really depends where I set the coilovers
