You need to roll the fenders and remold the fender liner.

if its rubbing on the edge of the fender then you will see some slits on the outside of the tires and it will destroy that tire.

we cant really condone and answer that it will be ok to drive the car because we cant be held liable.

just fix the area where its rubbing

and not to mention that YES....IT WILL HURT SOMETHING lol

like sliding said it will slice up your tire and if you go too long with it like that Ive seen it peel the paint off and the deadly car cancer starts creeping in....RUST....so yea....just find someone with a heat gun and a fender roller and pay them 20 bucks and 6 pack of beer to roll your fenders and be done with it.

btw the fronts only have tabs and not a whole lip like the rear, you can push the tabs up yourself by hand without a roller

also i just bought tires for my 19x8.5's i have all the way around.....yea theyre expensive... so get your fenders rolled lol

is the 35 profile the right size for 19s? i thought it was supposed to be 30. i dont run 19s so i dont know. cant remember.

you can try a 225 tire or just a slight roll. also is it rubbing on the fender or the inner plastic? if its just the plastic i wouldnt worry about it. you can heat the plastic and push it in further.

seriously though, youre talking about changing the dynamics of the car for something that be solved by something very inexpensive and simple and a lot less time consuming too

im not trying to be mean but its kinda like instead of taking the steak out of the fridge and cooking it youre going out into the wilderness and finding wild cow, developing a tool to kill it, killing it, developing another tool to butcher it, developing an axe to cut firewood, building a fire pit, developing a way to cook the beef over a fire, figuring out how to get the fire started without modern technological advances and finally....cooking it....seriously im sure you can find someone in your area with a fender roller, give them 20 bucks and get it done, case closed lol

good luck man

worst case scenario, buy a fender roller and heat gun, watch youtube videos on how to do it, do your research on tips and tricks, do it for your car, turn around and advertice on the forums or craigslist that youll roll fenders at 20 bucks and a six pack of beer each until you recoup the cost, fender rolling is in high demand so it shouldnt be that hard, heres a link to a fender roller, im pretty sure this is the good one (someone else chime in on this and confirm or deny this)
