AME Shallen CX 19s + Eiback pro-kit drop. Help with offset

Having a hard time getting my head around offset specs so figured Id ask before I make this purchase. Would like to get flush without much rubbing. Will shave the rear fenders if needed, but dont really want to get into that. This is what Im looking at...

Will be adding drop on Eibach pro kit at the same time
AME Shallen CX
F19x8.5
R19x9.5
F235/35/19
R275 or 265/30/19
Thinking an offset of +35 all around will be good.

This offset correct? Rubbing issues? Help from the experts please.

Thanks!

35 all around will be a nice conservative offset with those stats, shouldn't run into rubbing. I would suggest 225/35 in the front though. I would go 30 all around, even more aggressive. Some people here are running even lower than that just fine.

^^ Ok, I dont want the fronts sticking out, so is +30 in the front to much. Also, will I be shaving rear fenders w/ 30 ?

Thanks again

I used to run +35 in the front with 19x8.5 and my tires were yokohama s-drive 225/35/19 and I rub once a while..during a slow sharp turn..that's all. I did push the plastic fender liner in the wheelwell where it rubs, and no more rubbing after that.

So, maybe something like this ?

F225/35/19 at +30 - I dont mind doing a little plastic modding if it does rub
R265/30/19 at +33 - no rolling or shaving needed

The 30 in front wont stick the wheel out past the fender, correct ?

Thanks for the input guys !

rear at 265/30/19 +33 and dropped on Eibach pro kit shouldnt require any fender rolling ?

If not, this is what Im going with...

F225/35/19 at +30 high disk
R265/30/19 at +33 low disk
