225/35/19 255/35/19 tires on VMR's

I have some new VMR v710s being delivered in 19x8.5et33 and 19x9.5 et35 and need help with tire sizing. I need all seasons. If I use the standard sizing of 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 I really only have two options in name brand tires which are general gmax and continental dws. I keep hearing great things about the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 tires. I also hear that they run larger than sized. I think I read in a few places they are close to 10mm larger than specified size. Could I use 225/35/19 front 255/35/19 rear Pilot Sport A/S 3 on my VMR wheels and be fine? I am thinking since they run large I could downsize and actually be the same size as a 235/265 gmax/dws and still have a stiffer sidewall tire than either of those tires.
