with the 19's?

of course.

also, you need to grip the steering wheel more, as it is harder to control your car..

Yeah, why did you give those wheels up? Are you getting different ones?

That was my question. 245s in front with that sort of offset should equal a lot of rubbing. Post some pictures of your front wheel wells after you have driven a while. Should be interesting.

The car looks superb though

the only rub in the front is like all the other is's the rubbert part of the wheel well when turning, all you have to do was sand it down or use a torch? i think someone said that (not sure and don't want to sound crazy so don't assume that that is correct)

no rubbing in the back, i sold em cause i didn't really like the gunmetal on sgm look, i wanted to look for another color for some contrast
