Default rubbing problem??

hey guys i am worried about my car rubbing on my rims. im getting ready to put my wheels on (19x9.5 in front and 19x10.5 in the rear with a +22 offset) and my car is lowered on eibach sportline (1.2 drop all around) and i was wondering if my wheels will fit perfectly without rubbing issues or have to roll the fenders? thanks guys for your help!

btw im running bfg kdw 245/35/19 in front and 275/35/19 in the rear.

I'm pretty sure you will need to cut/roll your fenders.

I just install 19 x11 Work Mister w/Michelin PS@ 19x295x30on rear & 19 x9.5 w/Michelin PS2 265x35 on front

I had a slight rub on the front coming up a driveway --I raised the tein supension anout an inch and so far no problems with rubbing. I was prepared to roll my fenders with the bat but so far so good.

Your car doesn't look that dropped. Looks like there's like 2 fingers between the fender and top of the tire? Should be fine unless you decide to drop the car more.

Here's the link to the pics. Disregard the "bronzed" brake disc, I forgot to drive around after the car wash before taking the pics
