19" Ruff Racing Wheels
19" Ruff Racing type 278, 35 offset, Hyperblack.
Kumho ECSTA SPT
235/35/19
275/30/19
Noticed the Kumho's are slightly wider than other brands. I have some rubbing in front and will use the heat gun to cure. I also have some rub in the back with passengers. Is rolling the fender the only way to fix the rear rub?

Kuhmo's
I selected the Kumho's after reading about them on Tire Rack. I did not want to end up with too ruff a ride and the Kumho's looked good for ride and for handling, so I got them. The Kumho's are a little more firm riding than stock but that was expected with a lower profile. What I can't tell you is how well they handle. After about 4 miles the TPMS light came on and sure enough, the left rear was a flat. So, I have three new Kumho's and one new something.
I'll have a new tire here on Monday the 31st. That's when I plan on taking my aggressions out them. I'll let you know how they work then.

Not lowered. I think the 19" wheel and tires help close the gap some.

I went back to the shop where I purchased the wheels and tires. They were able to roll the lip with a tool made for this exact purpose. Best part is they did not charge me a dime. NO RUBBING!

Bingo!, the fronts and rears are a +35 offset.
Adding to the offset problem is the Kumho tires. They are especially wide. My 275/30/19's are more like 285's in width.
The shop I purchased them from used a lip roller to fix. All is well now.
