Default Wheel/Tire Fitment question.....but not the usual "Will this fit?"

Ok, not sure if this is something that you guys would know off hand and I know everybody hates wheel fitment questions, but this is not the USUAL questions. In any case, I'm currently running 18x9 +20's up front wrapped with 245/40/18's. I'm dropped on Tein Stech's, Sage RCA's, and Bilstein HD's. My question is that my new wheels that are coming in are 19x8.5 +20's and I'm trying to decide between a 235/35 front or a 245/35 front. I do rub with my 18" set up, but can you tell by the specs I've provided if I will rub if I go with a 245/35/19? (<<< That is the tire size I want to run.) I know the wheel will sit 6mm farther in and and the tire will be shorter, but will going up from an 18" wheel to a 19" wheel make any difference in the amount I will rub? Since the wheel is larger, will it fill up the gap more and cause more rubbing? I'm thinking that I will be ok with a 245/35, but please give me some feedback.
