Suspension "What Do i do now?"
I bought my rims +tires yesterday 245/35 R19+ 295/35 R19 toyo tires , and i had just mounted them when i noticed that they slightly rub ( it is 2007 enthusiast stock suspension) when i take a corner fast. I am thinking about gentting a kit of Eibach Sportline springs+ sway bars (eibach too) , would that work , will it rub again , also what a friend of mine scared me is the alignment of the rear tires, so do i have to do something about it or just spring and sway bars work well , plss need advice thnks

if you lower the car, the camber will be more aggressive (more negative) but will still be the same as when you 'corner fast'.
Get the springs/bars, but also find some rear camber arms. SPC makes some for ~190 that will solve the issue completely.
What rims are you running? Offset?

295/35/19 is the wrong tire size. You want a 295/30/19. Find the idiot that sold you those and return them. The tire combo you chose is really bad. If your going ot run a 295/30/19 in the rear you want to run a 275/30/19 up front. 50mm of stagger is way off.

People like what they like.
Now onto answering your question.
Can you tell us your offset?
Your most likely going to have to roll the fenders, especially if your rubbing and on stock ride height. If you lower your car then it's going to rub more unless you roll or get a camber kit and do a crazy - camber setting...which i wouldn't recommend for driving around.

Ok let's put it this way. If I purchased a set of 9.5 and 10.5 lets make it a 18" what tire sizes would you like to put on it?

You are correct in your previous statement about 275's being a little too small for 10½" wheels. I would really go with 285s but 40 profile make the rear a little too tall and 35 would be a little too short.
You also need to check on the availability of tires in these widths and 18" diameters. They might be hard to come by. These width wheels and tires are more common in the 19" wheels.

Also that they have a relatively small 265 width tire and 800hp. The thinking on this forum seems to say that 265 is way too small for 800hp, even with AWD.

but anyways, your 19" may be lighter, but you are also placing all the weight further from the center of the hub. so it will require more rotational force to move a larger rim.

also, he said what tires would I like to put on it. he doesnt have to listen to me now does he.

I've done the calculations and the rotational inertia increase by going from 18" to 19" is essentially offset by the reduction in weight from that setup.
