Default Rubbing issues with 285 and 1,2" drop?

I am looking at getting tires for my new volks. Right now I am looking at either Toyo Proxes T1-R or Michelin PS2.
My rims are Volk SF Challenges:
Front - 19x9.5 +28
Rear - 19x10.5 +23

My preferred setup are 255/285 x 35
- or alternative 255/275 x 35 to avoid rubbing issues
Planning to drop it 30mm (1,2")
Would i need to roll fenders?, or is this OK
Whats the maximum drop without rubbing issues on the 285 setup?- and 275?
-Or do i need a flamesuit even if i done my time searching around?

You'll have to roll the fenders. I rolled mine and run 10.5 +23 with 295/35/19 KDW's on the rear and don't rub.
