Default 19 Inch Rims

Can anyone help me with this: I am about to buy 19 Inch rims, and want to know if I will scrub my fenders? My car is lowered 2 Inches, and I want to get 235/35/19 Tires. Anyone have these problems or Don't have these problems with the same setup?

Thanks!

So, what would you suggest? Because I have 225/40/18 right now and I am scrubbing a bit.
Is 235 a lot bigger than 225?

well first of all i am still not 100% expert on is3 yet. but i think if you should have gotten 225/35/19? at least that's what i am getting for my is3 later on.

if you get 235, you should get the 35 profile too

Well, thanks for your reply rominl
By the way, if it's not a secret, what rims will you be getting?
I guess I will go with 225/35/19 on the front and 245/35/19 on the back with my 2 inch drop.

unfortunately, i really can't tell at this point. sometimes you just can't say anything until it happens (hint hint). but it's not going to be a common wheel, it's high end stuff hopefully it will come soon.

umm..... the sides are still a bit off. the front is correct, but for the rear you should probably get 245/30/19. in fact if you get the correct offset and willing to shave the fender, 255/30/19 is a better fit. that's what i am going to get, but it's up to you

don't worry, no one knows what i am getting

not for is300 with the is300 you have to a lot more careful on offset and tire size. the gs is bigger and from what i know has a lot more tolerance
