I've got 19x9.5 +29 in the rear on 255s and I was rubbing a little at stock ride height. Rolled my rear fenders (had a body shop do it) and no more rubbing.

that's a pretty aggressive set up.. you will need a roll for sure, and even that I’m not sure if it will be good enough. Also your stance will play a big factor. The camber arm will help allot.. I believe Hyper ISF is running close to the same spec if not his is a little more aggressive and he's running camber arm just to fit it. GL

Everyone is correct. You need to roll flat then shave the fenders. And also add camber with camber arms. The Speed Element ISF has 19x10.5 +30 with a 265/30/19 and -3 camber along with shaved fenders.

See below...

I didn't waste my time with heating & rolling..

I shaved / grinded off the excess metal and used a few layers of oem touch up paint to seal it up..

Looks & feels like OEM

With this Rear set up:

19x9.5 w/ 35mm offset on a 265-30 Yokohama Advan Sport tire

Solved via DIY .. (Not recommend for the novice)

None. I have the same size tires on swift springs with 15mm spacers and no rubbing.
