not an ideal fit, but have you considered the 295/30?
That would be to tall same as 275/35 if not worse

No...

275/35 = 96.25
295/30 = 88.50, so quite a bit shorter than the 275/35

255/35 = 89.25, so very close to the 295/30 (probably visually indistinguishable at < 1mm).

285/30 = 85.50, and likely noticeably smaller than the 255/35.

So probably best to stick with 255/275 combo

I was just throwing out the 295/30 option because it's shorter than the 275/35, which solves your complaint (despite not being ideal width dimensions for the rims). Larger stagger will also change driving feel a bit.

I have the 255 and 275 combo and like it just fine.

I may just go with the same configuration. 295-30 looks like a truck tire.

Don't 4get you being on swift springs will make the gap quite more noticeable with a lower diameter. I was thinking 285 30 too on my comps but will run the 255 35 275 35 to give that nice flush look.

That's true. Never considered that.
