Maybe a little meatier tires. I think 215 would have to stretch too much I don't want that much stretch. Just the set up of the wheels.

have you considered CCWs? if you are going for a big lip and mesh wheels the LM20s will do that for you. and since CCWs accomplish most of the lip with back spacing you can achieve your flush look, while still running a 285 tire out back. quality wheel and tire setup gets you best of both words. a used set in the classifieds with tires will range from $2600 - $3200 usually. not sure what your budget looks like.

Lol the 215s in the link dont even stretch enough to reach the back of the wheel face. Stupid, seriously, a waste of a car engineered for handling.

you arent going to be able to fit a 235 on there without a crazy pull and camber joints.

possibly, if you find the narrowest 225 out there, which in any case would defeat the purpose of the tire patch aside from being able to say you have a 225 tire. with that you will probably be in the -5 camber range. you should try to find a use set, so in case you dont end up liking it you can move the set without a lot of investment.
