Tire sizes and offsets, quick question

I drive a 2000 TLP and I am looking into purchasing some rims.
The tires currently on my car read 205/60 R16 92H
The tires on the rims i'm considering read 235/35 ZR19 91W XL
Am I going to have any problems with rubbing or with the tires sticking out of the fenders? I obviously don't know too much about this and I would appreciate some help thank you

The main this to be concerned about at this point is the offset of the wheel and the rim width. The offset is + XX and the width should range between 7.5 to upwards of 8 inches or more. If you provide a model of the rim that would be most helpful.

yep. definitely gonna need the width of the rims and the offset. most peeps i know with 19's go with 225-35 instead but its usually a fender clearance issue for them. but yeah, as stated above, width and et of the rims would be nice.

I think if you run a P225/35R19 you should be good, just make sure to roll your fenders and possibly cut tabs. The cutting tabs may not be necessary.

You could also try a P235/35R19 but I think you will run into rubbing issues.
