Will my wheel fitment rub?
Planning on getting aftermarket rims for my car. My supension will NOT be stock, I'll be sitting on RSR DOWN SPRINGS. I would like my setup to be 19x9.5 (+22 off set) in the front with 225/35/19 stretched tires and 19x10.5 (+22 off set) in the rear with 245/35/19 stretched tires. Will i rub? what do you guys think? thanks for the advice in advance!

This will not only rub but the rims will be hitting your fenders in the rear. +22 is really out there... The only way you can run this is if you go with some coilovers (J5) with really stiff springs (14/12k) and do a bit of fender work front and rear (flatten the front fender lip, etc, and pull the rear a bit). The tire will certainly clear in the back as it will be stretched to crap, but the lip of the rim will go directly into the fender edge and that will not be pleasant... So that's why you need springs stiff enough to limit the travel.

Did you have some fender work done?

Your setup is almost what my specs are going to be except the I'm going to run 19x10.5 in the rear. Do you think that'll make a difference? I'm just trying to picture how much of my wheels are going to poke out. I ran 20x10.5 +45 in the rear and that worked out fine. But then again it was on stock suspension and my rear rear tire size was 285/25/20..
