run 235/35/19 225/30/19 or 265/30/19... 245 is too much.

yeah the thing is that the tires already comes with the wheels, so i'm just wondering if I can drive on it for a certain amount of time before I switch to thinner and narrower tires. Thanks though !!!

You might be okay in the rear with a +38 offset and a 275/35 tire. But just to be safe, run a 275/30 or a 265/30. The latter is what most CL members wear on a staggered 19.

235/35 in the front.

EDIT: Just saw the wheel sizes. I don't know the best specs for a 9" & 10" wheel, but rubbing seems likely.

front and rear will rub.

front is better to stick with 8.5, stay away from 9.
