Met a friend at UD and bought his 235/35/19 Toyo T1R Proxes which I hoped would do the job..
As I still don't fancy boring out the holes on these wheels I ordered some M14 - M12 step down studs from the US which arrived earlier in the week
Yesterday I got 1 tyre fitted ready for some more testing and calculations
So after work this afternoon I test fitted with the tyre to ensure I have clearance on both the inner and arch sides front and back.
Front is using the 5mm spacer as I was a little concerned about the closeness to the suspension arm without it.
Aired out.

Ride height (with sensible clearance for turning etc.)
Loving the chunky nature of the tyres compared to my current 215. hopefully they will be a little more forgiving.
Also trial fitted the studs to see how they sat when poking through the wheel holes. As you can see, they are almost central.
(Diagram shows blue as 5x114.3 and magenta is 5x112. It's that close )
I thought about running standard M12 tuner nuts..
.. but to be safe I've ordered wobbly ones, the difference in price is only about £10 so at least I have a little bit adjustment and Ill feel safer knowing that there isn't too much stress at certain points :
