Shouldn't rub with those sizes. There are many people with 19s all lowered an inch or more with no rubbing. If I'm wrong, you can roll the fender lips no big deal, but I'm pretty sure they won't.

it would help if you posted a wheel related question in the WHEEL FORUM...

With that setup, you will NOT rub on "straights" but if you have the wheel cranked to one side or the other and you hit a dip, you might rub the fender a little...there is no "cure" for this...even with "stock" wheels, if you lower your car, this will happen...no biggie...

Din- I have 19x10/19x8.5's on my SC and it is lowered with Eibach's and Tokico's. I do rub a little in the rear when going over dips at higher speeds. The front is fine (no rubbing). I had 20x8.5's all around at one time and I never rubbed, so I think you will be fine with your 19" set-up.
