^+1, in comparison to the fronts the rears are way too high. However, i'd say get a higher aspect on the front tire instead of reducing the rear. Your aspect ratio should always decrease in the rear on a staggered setup.
i.e. 235-40-19F, 275-350-19R
from your info, you have it backwards. don't forget, lower aspect means shorter sidewall means more clearance for slammage

confused, are asking whether or not you'll scrape the tte or your tire setup on fenders?
i cant imagine you rubbing the g35 wheels, but what's the offsets?
regarding the tte, it's more likely, as many have mentioned, you will scrape the bottom of the tte. however, when it comes down to it, its always on the driver.
by the way,
jcat on the staggered aspect ratio. my 19s are on 245/35 and 275/30

im asking will the lip scrap... im kind of new to tire set upsi was trying to find the original size tire that i had on the wheel in the beginning but it was really hard to find a 225/40. so i went with a 225/35. i already had the 255/40s . but once those go bad i mite want to find me some 255.35 or a 265/30 or something but with thati wold def need to shave the rear fender!
but what i was asking will the lip scrap. i mean my car has some nice clearance so far! but with the lip i wont be able to get down drives as much easier! but ill see!

well im doing pretty good so far without a lip! gota run a new tire set in the rear soon! i dont like how fat that rear tire looks! i really want to run a 40 in the front and a 35 in the rear!!! do you guys think if i got 265/35 in the rear i will have to shave my fender? my original tire on the front was a 225/40 and it fit really great with no finger gap but with the 225/35 there seems to be a gap. o well i see how things go soon!

the TTE lip doesn't really hang that much lower, so if you arn't scraping now, then you shouldn't really have a problem with the lip on. By the looks from the photos your fronts are actually about 2.1% smaller than the stock so thats why the rears are higher. 245/35/19 are exactly same as stock so maybe put those on the front and it'll raise the front abit. your rears are really too big, 5.0% bigger so you should get a 255/35
