yeah the 245 will definately rub more.. the 235 are a very good size.. and probably cheaper and easier to find too..

So what 19" wheels are they??

Because the offset will play a big part in the rubbing or not..

Beautiful wheels!!

if you get the 235/35/19, it should NOT rub with a +45 offset.. I think it would only rub if you're taking a turn hella fast or you have 4 people in the car.. otherwise, you should be fine. You might be able to get away with 245, but there is more of a chance to rub than the 235.

I think there are actually some members here who are running the regular se7ven 19x8 with +45 without rubbing issues and a similar drop to yours..

I think you may run into rubbing issues even with the 235/35/19s on a 2" drop. I don't rub with my Se7ens, but I only have a Comptech drop. I believe OUTRAGEOUS CL TYPE S says he rubs with his wheel/tire setup ,which I think is also 235/35/19 19X8 (+45), and his Comptech springs. I'm pretty sure he's the one who said he rubbed in the back because the system in his trunk is pretty heavy and brought down the rear end a bit...which is probably about equal to the 2" drop you have, if not less.
