Default Going to add spacers, need some advice about tires too fat or not....

my wheels setup : 19x8 +37 235/35 (front) and 19x9 +45 265/30 (rear)

going to add spacers 20mm front & 30mm rear.

I'm pretty sure I have to shave / roll fender, right ? and are my tires too fat ? no finger gap all around.

thanks in advance!

I think you might actually be ok. But a roll(up front) and shave(in the rear) couldn't hurt.

I'm running 225/40/19 on my 19x8.5 +21 for the front, and 285/35/19 on 19x9.5 +23 for the rear. That means your 19x8 after spacers should be equivalent to 19x8.5 +24 which is very close to where mine sits. The tires you will use should be fine and probably won't taco your fender. My 225/40 is still slightly too tall and did some damage going up and down driveways. I would get them rolled prior to adding the spacers. Your rear wheels will be equivalent to 19x9.5 +22 after spacers which is also very close to where my wheel sits. You should definitely be good with 265/30 with just a slight shave. I fully shaved mine and 285/35 fits, just barely.
