Default wheel Rubbing? And Proper Rim/Tire Size for Widebody Vielside v.3

Ok today i just got back my ride, i got the Veilside V.3 and wide body put on. I got it all done in Orange County at Mob Works. Excellent shop. Anyway, I got spacer they are 30mm but noone wants to put em on because of the possiblity they may rub, so the person told me at the rim and tire shop. Now this is only Temporary until i can save up again for the rims, since all this stuff i did isnt cheap. My question is have any of you had a problem with the spacers, i got 4 of em but was told really only need in the back.
Second, what do u guys thing i should use for the rear rim and tire size when i purchase, i was thinkin 19's. Thanks everyone

why else would you put a widebody kit on if you weren't going to put some massive wheels/tires on with it? there is no way in hell I'd recommend spacers, esp. if you're wanting to use the stock wheels!

I'd get in touch with a vendor IMMEDIATELY and get you some wheels ordered (custom, forged, 3pc)... 19x10 front, 19x12 rear... 295/30 front, 335/30 rear - ASAP!!!

Isn't a 30mm spacer really huge for a spacer? Seems like you'd really be sacrificing strength at that point by having to use such massively long wheel bolts. I dunno, but it just seems like way too big of a spacer to be safe.
