Default 19x8.5 +28 tire size?

After hearing good reviews, I'm going with the Hankook V12 but which would you go with 225/35 or 235/35??

I will be dropping/slightly slamming the Aristo on Megan coils this wknd.

Depends if you want a bit of stretch or to be flush with the edge of the rim.

Crap. I'm getting worried about the wheels and tires I'm about to buy. The front wheel is 19x8.5" +21 and it's wrapped in 245/40/19. My friend has an Eastwood roller and I plan on rolling the front fenders, but do you think with that width and offset with that size tire I will rub?
