Default Winter Tire Help!!

I have a B5 A4 quattro. It is lowered 1 inch.

I am currently running 19x8.5" rims all around.

I am going to buy new rims next year so am thinking about using my current rims as winter ones. I found a set of winter tires for sale....

front is 235/35R19
back is 295/35R19

I am wondering what the clearance is in the back and if they will fit or even fit on my 8.5" rims? I currently have spacers on my setup but I can take the spacers off the back if necessary.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers.

No way 295s are going to fit the back.. I would recommend getting a set of 17s for the winter..
