Not another tire thread...

Question about sizes for you tire experts out there

Looking at different tires to replace my current Continentals. Mine are Sportcontact 2's, 265/35/19 rears and 235/35/19 fronts. Some of the options coming up on tirerack.com are showing 265/30/19 rears with the same 235/35/19 fronts.

Questions:

1) Is having the different sidewall sizes between front and rear a "normal" and ok thing to do?
2) Does it look "right" having a thicker sidewall at the front/lower at the back?
2) Does it make any difference in the handling?
3) With the 19" wheels I'm using, what other size tires could I look at using? The wheels are Porsche 911 Carrera S "Sport Design" type.

Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!

Cheers, Gord.
