I am lowered on Megan LP's 2" and my rear fenders are shaved from when I was running spacers, which I do not want to do anymore, thanks
Well I would have gone 245/35R19 all the way around but its a little late for that. There is no problem with the 235/35R19 though. Since your wheels are 8" wide all the way around I would stick with your current setup. Having staggered tires without staggered wheels is kinda lame, not to mention when you buy tires that are wider than the wheel they are designed to fit on you actually lose performance and handling.

What about x11 +15 would that still clear with a shave or would I have to roll? Also tire size 245 ok or should I go with 255 for safety?

Thanks Anthony

your better off going with the +25... the +15 will need a little pull in the rear. you my be able to do a 255 which isn't too much stretch

My current set up is the 19x8 all around, the new wheels I am looking at are the staggered ones( 19x8.5F and 19x9.5R), but I wanted to know if I should use back the 235/35/19 tires or get different ones for the rear. Hope I didn't confuse you or myself, lol

So sell your 19x8 with 235/35 setup. Depending on the offsets of your new wheels, if the tires don't need stretching to fit your car get 245/35R19 front and 275/30R19 rear. GL

Was looking into buying some rims 20x8.5(35 offset)F, and 20x10(25 offset)R. Was wondering would these fit without any rolling or shaving. I'm on Tein lowering springs.
