Default Will this really fit without rubbing?

After reading through dozens of threads and hundreds of posts, all I can say for sure is that I'm totally confused.

Can anybody out there with 19" x 10½" +22 Volk LE37/TE37 on the rear on a NON-LOWERED Z answer this question: Does a 285/35/19 Michelin PS2 or BFGoodrich KDW2 fit without rubbing and without having to roll the fenders?

It should fit if you are not lowered.

You will get a slight rub when you take quick turns with the KDW's on a 10.5 +22 even on stock height. I'm not sure if it would rub with the PS2's since the KDW's are wider than most tires of the same size.
Easy solution... go to rollyourfender.com and rent the fender rolling tool for $50, spend 2 hours or so with the help of a friend and your problem will be solved.

I would not attempt to roll your fender yourself unless you have experience doing it. You do not want your paint to chip and then rust from doing incorrectly.

most wheel shops have all this and can do it for a decent price. Leave it to the pro's is what I say.

Thanks guys. I'd really like to avoid rolling them but realize that I might have to do that to keep those tires. I'm hoping that somebody with the same setup will give me the definitive answer.

Dave, I'm actually running this exact same setup ... LE37 9.5/10.5 +22 with BF Goodrich KDW 285/35/19 in the rear. When I my ride height was stock....I WAS rubbing during fast cornering or if there was a dip at the intersection.

It's not really rocket science to roll your fenders....mine came out perfect and it was my first time doing it. You just have to make sure the paint is hot to the touch before you get at it.

Well, I went ahead and had the shop get some Michelin PS2s in 285/35/19. Hopefully they will clear, but if need be, I look into getting a pro to do the rolling.

Spend $80 (what I paid) amd roll them!! They will rub cornering hard man, why even chance something like that...btw you could do that yourself if you've ever seen it done its SUPER easy, Im thinking of buying a tool and rolling locally...

Is there any way to do larger than a 275/35...with a .75" drop in the rear...on a 19x10.5" rim with a +22 offset?

275/35 stretched over a 10.5" rim is the best way to avoid rolling?

Sorry, I won't hack my car like that. So I need options on tires.

Yes, the only way too avoid rolling your rear fenders w/a .75" drop is to run 275/35's. If you wanna go up to the 285's you will need to roll that rear fender

I have Toyo T1R's right now.

So a 285/35 Toyo T1R would clear w/o rolling?
