Default 235/35/19 tire on +40mm offset 19x8 front wheels ok fitment with no rub?

I just have a question on the fitment and if it will rub at all with this wheel+tire setup? Right now I have a 225/35/19 on the front wheels but I wanted to go up to 235. I just wanted a little more protection against these terrible Maryland,DC roads. I know 235 isn't a big jump in tire and probably won't mitigate pothole blowouts. Some additional information but not sure if it's relevant to the topic is the aftermarket wheels are enkei raijins and the is250 is RWD.

I run 225/40R19 for extra sidewall on 19x8.5 + 40. I've used heat gun to push the fender liner just a little bit to get rid of slight rub I was having at full lock.
With 235/35R19 and 19x8 +40 you should have no rubbing (depending on how low you are).

I'm still at stock height for now. Eventually I want to drop it with coils about 1" for the front and rear. When that happens I would probably have to do what you did and push the fender liner. but for stock height 235's should be good enough looks like with no rub. Thanks.

The rears I'm running 255/35/19. But I'm not too worried about the rears since that's what I have on currently. The rear fitment is perfectly fine

I'm wondering if it's possible to run 235/35/19 and either (265/35/19, 265/30/19 or even 275/30/19)
