A 235/45 has 105mm side wall
The OP's 225/35 only has 78mm
27mm is a lot more sidewall, hence compliance (suspension)
Currently I'm running 245/45 17 Bridgestone RE003 on my 8" SS VX rims which gives me a 110mm sidewall, tyres seem to be their overall best on the street at 36psi, yes they are a cheap tyre but they seem to perform ok on a heavy, >1500kg car, they were rubbish on my 1250kg Toyota 86 though, they are a 380 treadwear, so not really a performance tyre persay
The old setup was Hankook Ventus S1 EVO 3 255/35 19, 340 tread wear, on the rear, which was around 93mm sidewall
Running FE2 suspension the 17mm difference in sidewall made a big difference when it came to bumps in the road
Anyways, it really depends on rim width size, calibration and clearance, I believe the Berettas come in multiple fitments
What is the width of the OP's wheels?
A 225/35 will fit on 7.5-9" with a measured width of 8", tyre diameter would be my next point of call for choosing the right tyre or one close enough not to mess up things to cause a negative effect, what tyre diameter are these things stock anyway?
My "limited experience" with cars has lead me to the conclusion that for the street, I want "good" tyres with as much sidewall as practicable
I'm coming up for new tyres soon, In my perfect world, Hankook would make a RS4 in 245/45 17, but they only really do a 235/45 to suit my 8" rim, the Hankooks are fairly cheap, have a 200 tread wear, which is about as low as I would go for street duties, but they do last a surprisingly long time, they also give fairly good wet performance, and excellent dry performance, the RS4 is much better than the RE003, but would losing 5mm of sidewall be a compromise I would notice if I went to a RS4 235/45 ?
I went from RE003 245/45 to RS4 235/45 and the extra grip the smaller tyre with the better treadwear gave me was very noticeable
Meh, there are lots of tyres out there with different characteristics and different price points, as long as you use sound engineering principles to pick whatever you think is the best to suit your requirements, then all is well
Always test and adjust

I need more positive camber in the rear
