How low to go (drop)

Current setup is 19 inch 8.5's on 235/35/19 and I'm just wondering how low I can go without rubbing. Also don't want to do any fender mods

Why don't you want to do any fender mods? That's like wanting to have sex with your gf, but not wanting to take your clothes off first.

I'm missing your logic. Modding the fenders wouldn't lower the car's value.

Yea, I don't think anyone but you (and us) will ever know about that when you go to sell. Also, your offset will come in to play. If it is aggressive, fender work will basically be mandatory. A weaker offset will let you go lower with no rub I would think.

I don't think anyone would notice if you rolled the fenders, given they did a nice job at it. The first night I had my car I was going over it real well and thought my car was once modded and returned to stock before it was traded in at the dealer. After checking this site, I found out they were partially rolled from the factory.
