probably get a bunch of opinions. I have the same size about to go on my IS AWD and chose the 235/35-19 because of cost, lower weight and almost exact overall diameter matching.

I also plan to lower 2.0 with M&H springs so dont want taller tires.

With a really good drop you would rub. Otherwise no. I haven't personally heard of those tires so can't comment, but I would suggest Hankook V12's - great tires at a great price.

I will have a slight drop. Im just going to go with springs, im not sure how much drop this will give me or if ill have any issues with it. How much do you Hankook v12's run you?

What are your offsets? Unless they are more aggressive than say +35, you won't rub. I'm on coils with an 8.5+35 up front on 235/35/19 tires and no wheel gap without rubbing.
