If tire size is 235/35/19, this is what it means:
235 = tire width measured in mm
35 = sidewall height measured as a % of width (in this case, 35% of 235mm; this is why a 235/35 tire is shorter than a 255/35 tire)
19 = diameter of rim, easy
As you change tire and rim sizes, the goal is to keep the overall diameter the same.
So whether you change your width, or rim size, it's the second number (sidewall ratio %) that changes to achieve a diameter the same as original.
Hope that helps.

Yeah I knew a bit what the numbers do mean, but putting it in perspective and like realizing how much it changes to a tire, visually and all that that is the part that's really confuses me.
Will probably make another post before buying the Avant garde wheels to confirm for last time, don't want to end up with 1500$ of wheels that I picked up in another country that end up not fitting haha.
I may get new tires to, if I can sell these for a lot, they are almost new.
