haha not even close my friend... a 225 is wayy to small for a 10 rear wheel. You will have to go with staggered set-up with your wheels meaning they can not be roated front to back.
Like stated before please search I know this topic has been covered quite a few times.

But to help you out ...

8.5 wheel = 225/35/19 (way to stratched)
235/35/19 (still stretched)
245/35/19 (best in my opinion)
255/35/19 (a little on the wide side)

10 wheel = 265/35/19 (extremley stretched)
274/35/19 (best in my opinion)
285/35/19 (widest Id go on this wheel)
295/35/19 (it will fit but is unnessecary)

as you can see there are many combinations you can choose from... it all depends on what kind of driver you are and how low you plan on dumping your Z. With a lower dropped Z youll need a little stretch in the tires to fit in the wheel wells. This is only the width comparison .. you can also go down to a "30" sidewall in the rear if youd like. Not one of these measurements is "the right one" .. they will all work and function ... come combos just function with the car better than others. Keep in mind your VDC, Speedo .. issues etc when making your final choice. You want to keep the stock ratios as much as possible so you dont thow any of these things off. This should help your question.

I would say they would fit the 8.5s but they are gonna be stretched a little bit. I can't imagine running a tire that narrow on 10s, max recommended is 9" (although I am sure someone will be along to say they have it and love it, there always seems to be one around). I think most people with those wheel sizes were running 245/35 and 275/35 tires.

Don't know why you are looking at that size but in my opinion, tires can mean the difference between a comfortable, predictable, good handling car and a darty, rough riding, tram lining pig. They don't necessarily need to be the most expensive brands but they should at least be well sized for the wheels.

I have 19x8.5 with 245-35-19........and 19x9.5 with 275-35-19.......I've heard from many ppl that 245-35-19 is the best size for 19x8.5 because it won't effect spedometer misreadings as much as other sizes.
