was i wrong??

Ok so I ordered the axis seven mods in 19.0 x 8.0 from one company and then I ordered my tires 235/35/19 and a set of eibach pro kits from tire rack. Guy from tire rack calls me to confirm that i know these tires are a little bit larger than is "recommended", and that i might have some rubbing problems. Is he right, cause from what i heard from all of you was that it shouldnt be much of a problem. Let me know your opinions.

19 X 8.0 with 235/35 series tires + eibach springs = massive rubbing...


I rub in the rear with 19 X 7.5 235/35 with a tein 1.5" drop.

19" RIMS + DROP = :shakehd:

rolled fenders might help, but I doubt they would help enough

Check my Sig. I have basically the same rims and drop as you. I'm on 225's and only have probs with people in the back taking really hard turns or dips. Other than that, no problems. I wouldn't worry about it.

I don't think the majority of people with 19's and comptech drop have problems. With that size tire wheel should be same overall diameter as stock. You just need to watch the offset.
