Calling all wheel experts

Since I can't get a clear answer from Centerline or any wheel distributors on this I thought I would see what you guys think on this. I want to put 19" Centerline RPM's on my car which currently has a comptech drop. The offset on those wheels is a 42. I plan to go with tire size 235/35/19. I know this combination works with 19" Axis Seven Mod's but they have a 45 offset. Do you guys think i will rub if I don't roll the fenders?

Yes - it will rub with 235/35/19 with a +42 offset. IMO, look for another wheel vs. rolling the fenders.

you may have a slight rubbing problem in the rear, most likely passenger side. nothing that grinding or rolling a 1/4" of fender lip wont fix.

you will rub if you shave the fender you will be fine, but when you start loading up people you will have a problem again

I think I'm back to looking for a new wheel. Too bad because those Centerlines are perfect balance of low weight and good looks
