Default will 19s create more wheel gap

Planning on getting a set of 19s next week on 35 profile tires and was wondering if with that combination I will have more wheel gap then I have now (currently stock) Planning on getting the gruppe-s bumper as well so really don't want to have to lower my car. How will it look at stock height. Anyone have pictures of 19s at stock height?

EDIT: Here are sizes
19x8.5 on 245/35/19 20 offset
19x9.5 on 275/35/19 20 offset

The gap will be the same if you buy the proper tires, and will look fine if you get the right offsets.

I have the same size/tire setup & off-set (slightly wider rims) and found that the gap actually reduced a little. You should be ok. I think you will probably end up getting the ProKit (or something) to drop it a little...

Eibach Pro, they seem pretty affordable to at around $250
Along with lower will those give a rougher more stiff ride?

Your gap will be increased 2/10 of an inch in the front and 1/10 of an inch in the back with the tires you are running.

it will be minimal...235/50 on 17" rim, 275/45 on 18" rim, 295/30 on 19" rim...I have used all 3 of these in the rear and I would have to have 3 pictures taken at the exact same angle of each to even notice the slight difference in gap.

the profile number will make the biggest difference in fender gap

Depends what size tires you are comparing them to. You can use the tires sizes to calculate the total height.
