hiya guys, i believe there 8.5j all round

For an 8.5 width the tyre width should be 215(mm).

235/35/19 measurement is 235mm width/35 is 35% of 235(82.3mm)= Height of sidewall/19 is 19" size of wheel(sure you know that bit!)

So both set of tyres would be too wide!

8.5 is quite a narrow tyre on the rear considering its rear wheel drive(and winter months ahead)! More tyre in contact with the road= more grip!!

Generally people fit wider wheels and tyres at the rear.

Hope that helps bud.
