General Questions about 19" Wheels.

I think I'm finally going to take a dive and buy 19's. However I had a few questions.

I'm currently dropped 1.5 inch all around on Tanabe NF210s and Toki Blues; will 19" wheels create a huge gap between my tires and fender?

I've read the sticky before a gazillion times, but I just need some reassurance: I'm going to get 19x7.5 Enkei RS7's, +45 Offset... will I rub?

What tire size is the closest to OEM rolling diameter?

Thanks ahead of time for answering my questions.

Best fit for those wheels would be 225/35 tires.

You may have little rubbing so cut the rear tap on bumper, watch out for big pot hole, an if you have alot weight in back it may scrub a little but not much to notices. Also 235/35 will work fine

You won't rub...I have 19x8 +52mm on Apex-i WS coilovers and I don't rub at all even with 5 people in the back seat. Your drop and wheel offset is perfect. You shouldn't rub.

I have 19x8 +45 and I barely rub on the bumper tab during hard turns, big dips or driving over uneven dips...I'm trimming those off once spring gets here and I can put the 19" feet back on my car!! I have HR Sport springs and sittin about 1.75 drop front and 1.5 rear with OEM struts. got 235/35/19 Falken Azenis ST-115 tires

The gap wont change at all. You will be buying tires that keep you within spec of the OE size tire (overall DIA)
