Default Will These 19" Rub At Stock Height?

Hey guys,

I can't figure out how much space is between the inner fender lining and the stock rim. I'm about to buy tires for my 19" rims and was wondering if this combination would rub at stock height or would I need to have my fenders rolled.

F: 19x8.5 (+29)
R: 19x10 (+37)

Is 245/45/19 and 275/45/19 ok without rubbing?

Or would 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 be better?

Those offsets suck, but no you would have any issues. My TE37's were 19x10.5 with +22 offset. I ran a 275/35 on GF210's and had no issues.

oh wait, just re-read your question. No dont use a 45 series tire. That will look fugly. Go with the 35 series.

why not just buy wheels with the right offsets to begin with?

bought it from a fellow member that had it on his z. My fault for not rethinking about the offsets. I'm fine right now with the offsets not being perfect in other people's eyes. As long as I like them, I don't care what other people think.

The 10 inch wheel may be a problem with the brake calliper and strut housing.

Rubbing the fenders? lol
With those weaksauce offsets those will be tucked in so much you'll need magnifying glasses to find them

Well if you've already bought the wheels, I guess I'll just tell you that when I had my 19x10 rears with +25 offset 275/35 had PLENTY of clearance even with 1.2 inch drop. You should be more than fine. Plus, why would you go with 45 profiles on 19s? That would look gross. Stick with 35.
