Tyre width on 19s

Hi, I'm running 235 35 19s on my mtm alloys (8.5J) on my B6 S4 CAB. Whilst these are the recommended size with a very similar diameter to the 235 40 18 on the standard 18 inch (8J) wheels they offer little in the way of protection to the rims. Has anyone tried using 245 35 19s? As the mtm's have a 35mm offset I think that the 245 should work, but I would welcome a second opinion.
Many thanks
Giles

Seen you about a couple of times lately but always when I'm on my bike coming home from work, and I'm wary of coming up beside you in case you think I'm going to car jack you or something! We need a secret RS246 handshake / wave......
Ian
edit - how about an RS246
Sticker on my bike......

Ian, it would be good to finally meet up as I still need to listen to the non-res.

Ian, I had too much rubbish in the boot to drop the roof. I can't wait for my current building project to end so that I don't always have to have a boot full of items from Wicks. I did have the roof down last week but that was only to get a wheel barrow in the back seat.
