19x8 +45 Axis Seven Mods... RUB????
looking to buy a set of Axis Seven Mods +45 offset with 235/35/19 tires. i have a TLS /w HR Sports drop. if i cut the fender tab, would that be enough. would it only rub if ppl were in the back? if so than i dont really care about that. what part of the tire will rub and whats so bad about rubbing? tire damage? i oculd live /w a lil rubbin here and there i think. opinions please

Since you have a TL-s consider 225/35's if you want to be completely safe, but 235/35's could work if you trim the tab. I have 19x8 +49 with 225/35's and don't rub with it lower than H&R drop

I have the same wheels and same springs and I still feel there is too much of a gap btwn the wheel and fender. I never even come close to rubbing. You'll be fine.

I must note that I'm running 225 series, although the Parada's run a bit wide for a 225 (so I've read).
BTW, get those headers on the car ... or change your sig.

yea the headers are sittin in my garage. no time to get them installed. have u been to the track /w ur setup. wonderin how much the 19s will affect acceleration.

I've never run the 1/4 in my car so I don't know if my car is actually slower. The 19" wheel+tire combo I have weighs the same as the stock wheels w/ SO3's. I'm sure the larger diameter wheels take off a few hundreths or so...it isn't noticable at all w/ the butt-dyno.
