New set up question

so I just bought a set of RonJon legends 19x8 et48 and 235/35/19 tires. My car is lowered on 1.9" all around. Do you guys think Ill have rubbing issues with this set up...

ps: I had 18x8.5 et35 with 225/40/18 and I had no rubbing issues....still had 2 finger gap in the front and 1.5 fingers in the back....

Any input is appreciated..thanks

It won't be a problem, that's plenty safe as long as you're not running positive camber.

Yea, you shouldn't have any problems with that kind of drop and that offset.

I have no idea how well they'll fit, but...... kind of like closing the barn door after the horse took off. You bought the set, so..... if they rub, they rub.

Your gonna have to eyeball it, thats a 3 stage paint, can't be bottled for single application. Try Acura's Alabaster silver metallic in a touch up bottle, if the chip is small enough, it won't be seen.
