P.S.
Have you considered profile of 35? Imho that should get you into lower diameter/circumcision size, then stock, no? Check up with some online tire calcs entering stock size and playing with changing desired sizes for tires you want compare them with.
P.P.S.
There is also option of higher ratio FD installment to get back transmission ratio even with larger diameter tires. Though not sure if it's worth doing if you already decided on FI in future. Car also will be lifted a bit with bigger diameter tires (seeing most prefering lowering, not sure if it's wished result).

I would like to get the wider tires and new wheels now partially so I can leave my winter tires on the stock rims and partially to get ready for FI. I already have the turbo kit but I am just not installing it until I have all the supporting mods in place (ultimate test of patience
)
Most of the configurators I messed with would not let me do a 235/35 setup for comparison.
Don't plan on changing FD as like you said it is not really worth changing for FI. I'm going to do very minimal lowering springs in the future as well so I'm not too worried about a slight lift from the increased tire diameter.
Thank you for the input and I'll see if I can find one that will let me do the 235/35 or I'll just do it by hand!
