Help 225/35 or 225/40

I am trying to pick up a set of tires today and I have no clue what size to go with. I would like to remain as low as possible but not totally destroy my fender. My new setup is 19x8.5 et0 19x10et 20. I was thinking about going 225/35/19 255/35/19 but I think I might want some more rubber in the front. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A 245 is a pretty big tire for a 8.5 inch rim. My car is pretty low and with an offset of 0 that would never work.

245 width is a recommended size for a 8.5" wide rim, but for a super stretched setup w/ those aggressive offsets it might be pushing it.

Thats wierd I have never seen that anywhere when purchasing tires for 8.5 inch rims. I have always gone 225 or when I needed to stretch I went 215.
