You've got the exact same wheel specs and offset that I have, and depending on the tire, there's a good chance that you'll rub in the rear. I had the Eibach Prokit with my Nittos and rubbed like a champ, even after rolling the fenders.
Go with 275/30 or 265/30 to be safe, or use coilovers.

Do you think if i get 275/35/19 and roll the fenders, and get an alignment to tilt the wheel a lil bit, will it rub. I dont really like the rear wheels to be too spread out either.
what tires are you running now, specs?

Thanks for the opinions and complements guys. I will try to get better pics.
I really need to adress the back tire issue, specially since they will replace the tires for free as long as i dont drive them over 100 miles. I cant lower the car more becasue of were i live and were i will move next year.

That sucks because i really want 275/35. I dont like the look i have right now of the 265/30 at all.

Check the specs of the tires that you're considering - I have Nitto 555's, 275/35/19. However different brands might have a slightly skinnier width, which might be enough to prevent rubbing.

In my experience, the rubbing was lessened after rolling the fenders. Plus, it only was happening on my rear driver side (driver side is lower than passenger side on our cars).

To be honest, If i cant run that tires, Id rather not even have 19's, Ill go back to stock wheels. Its just a matter of taste, and the 265/30/19 look great if you are dropped more than eibachs, like Tein or colis.
thanks a lot for the info.
trust me it will work especially if you roll those fenders!!
