Wheel & Tires
I currently have 245/35/19 for my front tires and 275/35/19 for the rear. I noticed in the front that the calipers are scraping the wheel so I think I may need spacers for the front. Just want more advice on should I stay with staggered or square sets. And what brand of tires are affordable for these sizes? Any tips would be great.
Are your wheels /rims square or are the rears wider?
Honestly if your wheels are scraping against the caliper you would hear it constantly. If you are not hearing it, they might have already worn down at the point of contact so no point in spacers if that's the case. If you takenoff the wheel you would see the caliper shaved down and/or the back of the wheel as well where they were touching

Yea that's sounds pretty dangerous as you shouldn't be able to tighten your lugs if the back of the wheel is already hitting the caliper or there would be major noise when you took the first drive. Now either your wheels or calipers could be compromised. I wouldn't recommend shaving down your calipers.

Are you sure you aren’t hearing the dust shields rubbing against the rotor? Take the wheel off and see if the wheel has made contact anywhere. Also you would be able to see the caliper it would have scrapes on it. Post some pics.
