they'll fit, but the question is why you would want to run such a size all around?

Because i have this 4 - 235/35/19 set just sitting in my garage so instead of spending $1200 on new ones i'd just use the ones i have until they're done then spend the $1200.

How would it affect my performance if any in terms of handling, acceleration, and going 100+

Your handling will likely suffer because you decreased the width in the rear, you'll increase your chances of bending/cracking your wheels because the tires are too small, and you'll hurt your top speed because the tires are too short. Sell those tires and get the correct ones, you own a G, don't cheap out

I'm a sedan guy running the coupe 19s. I was going to try to run this size when it came to swapping tires. Size-wise they fall into the acceptable ranges for both the 8" and 8.5" wheel. But as redlude said, you will be thinner in the rear by 10mm and you will have less rim protection. Personally, if you can feel a 10mm diff in tire width, you probably are a much better driver than any of us. Plus IMHO the tire brand/model would make more of a diff in grip than the size (at least in this case where the size diff is so small)

If you sold your current set of tires, how much? And what brand/model are they?

Can't you just buy some new tires for the rears? Or is that too much $$$ too?
