Would you say +35 front and +40 rear might have issues?
Actually, majority usually run +35 front and +38-40 rear. I'm pretty sure the +2 in the rear should not cause rubbing.
235/35/19 and 265/30/19 seems pretty standard after browsing around the aftermarket wheel threads for 19" wheels with 8.5"/9.5" width but it also depends on the sidewall/width of the tires you have.

I suggest bringing it back to the dealer of the rims or another shop to fix the issue. Maybe add spacers? Different tire setup? Alignment? Good luck!

I have 19x8.5 +32 (235-35) and 19x10 +42 (265-30) lowered on RSR downs and have never rubbed. Maybe because I have Continental DWS which have a more rounded shoulder. Just my .02

I picked these up locally in City of Industry for $100. The seller said he hasn't put them up on ebay yet but there is one on ebay for $219 which is too pricey.
I installed it with double-sided tape which is provided but had to stick the tape on the covers myself then install it on the mirrors. Took less than 20 mins to install. Fitment is pretty good though I should have been more careful to make it more flush on the bottom edges for the right side which isn't a problem looking afar.
I'll try to get better pics soon. I will probably have to wrap the bottom portion of the mirrors to match the CF.

Yoo, $100 for that is a pretty good deal. Hows the quality of the CF? Mind DMing the sellers contacts?

I'm in Bay Area, hoping the seller would arrange shipping or something.

It's made of fiberglass though the quality is great for the price. I don't have their numbers but I'll link you the seller. Same seller who sold me the roof spoiler/window visors/key fob.
I'll ask them for their contact info for you, hopefully they'll reply quickly. [I forgot... they don't open on weekends]
