What size tires should I use?

I just bought a set of Axis Penta in a 19 x 8.5 with a 35 offset. I am lowering the car with Eibach pro kits with Tokico Shocks and I will be using Ingalls Camber kit to level out the rear wheels.

with a 235/35/19 will it rub? could I use a 245/35/19?

You could use either one. My friend has the exact same size and offset and he runs 245/35/19.

Forgot to add, I believe he has his fenders rolled.

I forgot to mention that I want to try and avoid rolling the fenders

That setup will be very close, especially if you're lowering the car, as the 35 offset will extend the wheel 7/16" farther out toward the fender. I'd say not much clearance with either, without rolling the fender. Maybe someone else that has experience with the setup will chime in.

I'd go with the 245/35's. Depending on how low you go, you'll have to roll your fenders.

I am looking at a similar setup, I am planning on getting a set of 19 x 8.5 with a 42 offset. The tires that are on it are 225/35, I think those should fit without a problem, and I would like to drop the car someday but not soon, what will I have to do so I make sure my car is fine to drive, will I need to roll the fenders or get a camber kit or nothing at all?
