Default tire rubbing...

I currently have the following setup on my IS350
  • TeinCS coilover (Tein factory settings as for now)
  • Volk TE37 19 x 8.5 J +35 (F) / 19 x 9.5 J +34 (R)
My question is, will 235 / 35 R19 on the front cause any kind of rubbing? Or should I go down to 225 / 35 R19 instead? Any help would be appreciated, thankyou.

I have the same wheel size and offset, my tires are 235/35/19 I have zero rubbing issues!!! you will be fine. It only rub very very little on the plastic inside the fender when you turn, but with a heat gun you can fix that. check the wheels thread, almost every body who has 19" wheels go with 235/35 because it
is better than 225/35. Also on the wheels thread there is pictures of where you need to use the heat gun, its only a small piece that you need to push in.
