275/35/19 Fit for winters?

So I have been trying to find some winter wheels/tires for winter time. It is coming up and I will need to find something within the next month.

I was able to find some on Facebook Marketplace for pretty cheap, but they are 275/35/19. My stock 19" tires are 275/40/19 in the front and 285/40/19 in the back. Would these fit for the fronts? They are the same width, just less sidewall.

You will be changing the front to rear diameter difference, which can affect traction control and the AWD system. I have not calculated the difference, but you should. If it is more than about 2% then I would not buy the smaller front tires.
