depends on the wheel's offset and width, (shameless plug) it might fit on RonJon Wheels... they got a 50mm offset and 7.5 width. when I get them in, I'm gonna experiment with tire sizes.

I have 235/35/19 on 45mm rims and I rub once in a blue moon with my system in the trunk. Without the heavy ass system...I haven't had any problems...unless I hit something extremely steep. The car is also lowered with the Eibach Pro Kit

I wondered about this also UNeek, but from what I keep seeing, no one has tried this. All I have ever seen is just the 235/35/19's

maybe this may be better, 225/40/19 on a 19" x 7.5" wheel with a 50 offset. maybe even a 45 offset. 235 might be a bit wide... considering your low offset.
here's the link at tirerack.com
225/40/19 tires @ tire rack
I'm def gonna try that since it fills up the wheel wells pretty good and still has a little meat on it.

225 won't be enough to protect the rims though i am assuming...i like how 235's cover up the rim a bit and acts as a protector

just watch the curb and be careful, I'm more concerned with the height of the sidewall since I'm looking for the best ride quality. and 40series rubber seems more cushiony than 35 series. also, that wheel lip protector is a feauture that may or maynot come with the wheel.
