Lower Profile Tire Size for 19" OEM Wheels?

When shopping for new tires for the 19" OEM wheels, I can not find find Pilot Sport 4s in the OEM Tire sizes which are:

Front: 275/40ZR19
Rear: 285/40ZR19

It appears that Michelin makes similar PS4s tires that are bit lower profile with a 35mm profile:

Front: 275/35ZR19
Rear: 285/35ZR19

Anyone put these 35 profile tires on their 19" wheels? Does it look bad?

I really don't want to buy the Standard Pirelli tires again.I only got 11k miles out of them with one track day included.

So this (if you stay with the 35 series) is effectively the reverse of maintaining the OEM diameter. I dont think you would experience major functional issues but you would have a larger gap in the fender vs OEM.

I dont have pics but can only imagine the gap would be possibly annoying creating a slight 4wd effect
