225/35 & 245/35 i would say. What brand tyres too? go something narrow.

235/35 on a 10.5 is pretty extreme 5t341th, he said he didnt want extreme! even 225/35 and 245/35 is gonna be pretty aggressive stretch. i wouldnt be sure confident that would be daily friendly imo but depends where you drive i guess

even with shaved guards you are going to need some moderate to aggressive stretch though, depending on camber too, so you cant get around it altogether
