235 35 19 on 9.5? Yes/No?

Have searched, can't quite find the answer!

Put Linea Corse L22s on my car at the weekend, and am getting a little
rubbing on the rears.

My current setup is 255 30 19 on the 9.5 ET42 rears (photo below).

Would a 235 35 19 tyre stop the rubbing I'm getting? Don't want to roll the
fenders, as I don't trust a shop here to do it correctly.

Would putting 235 35 19's on the 9.5's be a valid option, or would it be
dangerous (and look ridiculous)?

Any advice greatly received!

Current setup.

Thanks for the reply!

Have to get a 4 wheel allignment done anyway, as I've installed Eibachs, will see what they can do.

Also, would machining 3mm off the back of the wheel to bring the offset from ET42 to ET45 present problems?
I contacted a shop that said they could do safely as long as there was enough material to work with.

i ran a 235/35/19 on my 9.5 lm rep. the mild stretch looks really aggressive yet classy it will fit on the wheel fine it is within spec. however I did have my fenders rolled so I cant attest to your situation with possible rubbing-- however i do know others on this forum that run 255/30 and have no rubbing whatsoever as long as you roll the fender. it's your decision. good luck
