Default will I rub?

I just got a set of of linea corse dyna for my is350 they are 19x8.5 +28 in the front and
19x10 +43 in the rear the tires on there are 275/30/19 in the rear and
245/35/19 in the fronts (yes these were some expensive tires so i really dont want to take off the front and buy new ones since these are brand new but i will new ones if i have too)

i'm planning on being lowered on either f-sport or h&r depending on what advice you guys give me.

I want to have a nice looking stance but also dont want to rub with the tires sizes that i have on those wheels right now. I dont not want to do any fenders mods or resort to any sort of fender lining adjustments.

If worse comes to worse i'll just get some coilovers (last resort since this is my daily driver and i dont really need all that adjustment, i would hate to spend money on some feature that i would not use)

Also if i get 235/35/19 for the front would that rub at all lowered with coilovers?
thanks.

Yeah, you may rub when you lower in the front. Rears look good. I would swap the fronts for 235/35.

I have a very slight rub in the front at just about full lock when turning. I'm running
19x8.5 +37 up front with a 235/35. So far not to much of a problem. No rubbing at all in the rear, 19x10 +46 with 265/30...

I had the same problem. Heat gun your plastic linar and push it back in both front wheels ( Towards seat of car). That should eliminate the mild rub.

fronts will rub if you're only gonna be on springs, there wont be enough dampening on the shocks for it to not rub on dips, bumps, etc. Heat gun the lining and bend it in. Also, you might wanna relocate the bumper tab in the front if you plan to go lower ...

It doesn't matter if your on springs or coils. The front will definitely rub for sure. I try it before with my JICS coils and on full still. The width of the tires will definitely rub during turns/uturn..bumps.

I highly suggest you go 225/35/19 or a smaller width...

235/35 rubbed a hole on my fender liner. I switched to 225 and no rub. I am lowered on coils.

Your front should rub, I would go 225/35 and your rear won't rub. I have a 19x10.5 42 and i'm tucking my rear by half a finger as of now without fender mods on a 275/30. The only possibility of rubbing is if your going on dips because of your soft springs or a fully loaded car.

Oops. Forgot about the tab relocate. Yes, if you haven't relocated your fender/bumper tab in your fender, then you will rub on that if you slam on coils. No way around it unless you get a high offset.

so 225/35/19 and 265/35/19 would be the perfect setup for my wheels dropped about 1.5 inch on coilovers? no rubbing at all correct?

thanks for all the help guys.
