19's with tein suspension, will i rub?

I am putting 19's on next week and will probably get the tein coilovers... If I drop it by 1.5inches front & rear, will I rub with 4 people in the car?

The specifications are as follows:

225/35-19
19 x 7.5
offset +44

Will I rub? What is the maximum drop I can do with 4 people in the car?

+44 is kinda low for that wheel, but you should be ok most if the time and not rub. You may rub though over big bumps and with people in the car over bumps.

I Think you will be OK but if it rubs, you might want to get your rear fender rolled.

Most wheels shop has a machine to roll rear fender.

i had 18x7.5 +44 offset w/eibach pro-kit and i rubbed like crazy. had to put spacers in between the springs to stop making it rub but when i did some fast turns or had people in the back it would still rub. you can get your fenders rolled but i never did it because people told me in time the paint would come off near your fender so instead i just bought new rims with a +48 offset and it just barely doesnt rub.

You should be fine. I have 19's on mine with Tein Coilovers, dropped about the same. My wheels are 19x8, with a 45 offset and they don't rub. I also have 235 tires, not 225.

They are spring spacers. They go in between your springs and raise up your car. They basically look like little blocks and they are meant to fit in between the springs to raise your car. You can get them from pep boys or other auto part stores for like $5.
