Default Need Help! Tire Rubbing Question?
Ok so I got a new set of wheels and tires: 19x8.5 +35, 235/35 (F) and 19x9.5 +35, 265/30 (R). Looking to drop on Eibach Pro-Kit springs 0.8"-1.3" aprox drop. Will I get some tire rubbing issues? TIA.

I wouldn't foresee any issues with that setup. We recommend that setup to quite a few customer with those same specs.

No rubbing for sure! I have run 19 x 8.5 and 19x 9.5 with +30 offset with out any problem (Custom spring setup - a lot lower than eibach)

I used to run Eibach's, they're not low, especially in the rear. You'll be fine.
