....I run the ASA's of the same wheels 19X8.5 and 19X9.5 w/ +35 offset. +15 spacers in front and +20 in rear. On Tein S-Tech's I rubbed before having to roll the fenders. (The offset while rubbing was +20 front and +15 rear)

Tires are 255/35/19 and 275/35/19.

I dunno how SS728 is not rubbing....

Strange. I'm running them and they are an excellent tire. One of the best bang/buck tires out there.

275 width on +20 offset wheel probably will come really close to rubbing but will not rub. How much negative camber your rear wheels have will also determine whether or not you may rub.
