235/35/19(25.5") smaller sidewall will have less impact protection and firmer ride. the front wheel gap will increase 0.25" (compared to oem) and become more unsightly. front vehicle height will be 0.25" lower and cause a slight forward rake which may not be noticeable unless pointed out.

235/40/19(26.4"), larger sidewall, better ride and impact protection with slightly less sharp turn-in. front wheel gap will be reduced 0.2" and front height will increase 0.2". the reverse diameter stagger will cause slight reverse rake though likely unnoticeable unless pointed out.

245/35/19 is the the best size for the oem 19x8 front wheel as shown in the posts above.
