Default Wheel fitment question

Hi I recently got my new wheels and tires mounted. I love how they look but now I want it a little lower, I want to get RSR down springs soon to try to get rid of the wheel gap. Ive seen a few people running similar setups and wheel dimensions but wanted to make sure I wasn't going to have any issues rubbing. My new setup is a 19 x 8.5, +35 offset for the front and 19 x 9.5, +35 offset in the rear. The tires are Falken Azenis FK10 in a 225/35 in the front and a 255/30 in the rear. I am aware I may need a camber kit for the rear but am open to suggestions. Thanks for the help guys.

The rear would be the only issue as you are already aware. The camber kit would resolve that. It may cause slightly accelerated wear on the inside of the rear tires though.
I say lower it and see if it rubs. You're gonna want to wait about a week or two to do an alignment anyways while the springs settle, so you can always install the camber kit just prior to the alignment.

Do you think If I did the RSR half down on the rear and the RSR down in the front it would be a good fit without rubbing in the rear? Because it’s mostly the front wheel go that bothers me.

It's less likely to rub with the Half Down in the rear. That would be a better way to go.
