will i have rubbing issues? fat set up
hi i was wondering if i would have any issues,
my car is dropped with the NF210
19x8.5 in the front 19x9.5 in the back i think the offset is 38 both rear and front
im hoping for a smooth ride and a smaller wheel gap
im wondering if i go 245/40 and 275/35 ill have rubbing issues

i think your tyre sizes are a bit too large. 245/35/19 is exact as stock so you should have that size rather than 40. it'll help with the rubbing. I have the same width wheels front and rear with similar offsets with 275mm/30/19 on the rear and it should be fine.

You should not rub the fenders. You MAY, however, rub the top of your wheel well because of the increased diameter. This would only happening you hit a dip fast and hard enough to compress your springs to that point. With the drop being not so dramatic, these occasions should be rare.

that is the same diameter as some people use with 20's. I had 245/35/20 up front and did not rub, some even use 255's up front.However; a 275/35 might rub and I think it is too wide of a tire for a 9.5" wheel.
DF's will drop lower than the NF's.
getindavan, welcome
and I'd be very surprised if you had any rubbing problems with that setup. The offsets should fit no problem, and they should be pretty similar OD to the "fat" setup on 20's, (245/35/20 and 275/30/20) which many people including myself have run so I wouldn't be too stressed about the height issue.

Your right, I just seen 275/35 on a 9.5" width 19" wheel and they do not look too big for the wheel.
Just keep in mind, not all tires are created equal. Some run bigger, wider, taller than others that are suppose to be the same size.
