i think it all depends on ur height..i had 225/35's on my 19x9 +30..fender pretty much sat on the tire at full turns..only rubbed at speeds higher than 5mph with a slight roll

i think it would help more if people posted up their ride height and front specs

i wish i could ride lower..but speed bumps and driveways kill me..but at my height and my specs..i rub slightly..gotta make sacrifices..i wanted to go with a 215/35 but i think that would bubble up real easily

I ride with 225/35/20 , and there is no rubbing or rolling issues with mine.

Tires: General Exclaim UHP there is practically no road noise with these tires, but since they are very low profile (225/35) you will feel the bumps on the road.

i have 19x9 +27 nexen n3000 235/35. i daily my car and go over train tracks and all **** every day so i was afraid of having too much stretch up front. I have it lowered so there is no finger gap, top of tread is just under the guard edge. I have my fender liner trimmed so its just back and front of arch, and have the guards rolled about 1/2 way or so. they're already rolled a bit from factory anyway so they roll that extra bit mroe pretty easily without any damage except paint flaking of course.

But yeah i touched that up and all was good until i got an alignment and got them to wind out as much camber as possible so now i have about -1.9 up front and now going up and down my driveway on lock the tyres rub the guard so theres about 1.5" long bit of the rolled guard just polished silver underneath. So a 225/35 would most likely solve my problem, that or more roll...
