Hi, i can probably give some inputs... I have 19 x 8.5 all around with same tire size as yours 235/35/19, but with et 35. Are your rear wheels non-staggered?

If it is non-staggered (19 x 8.5 all around), the rear maybe too tucked in, just like mine before. I used 16 mm custom spacers to make it flush to the fender, but there is still some gaps. Ride wise, no rubbing will occur to your setting.
Hope it helps a bit.
