Default will it rub? need help!!

Hey guys, im going to be putting on my iforged wheels soon, but first i have to order my tires..

they are iforged track wheels
front- 19x8.5 +38
rear- 19x10 +42

i plan to get toyo T1Rs..

i know Johung ran a 235/35/19 in the front and a 265/30/19 in the rear and didnt have to roll his fenders and had no rubbing at all..

anyone know if i will be safe with a 275/30/19 in the rear?

thanks in advance..

275/30/19 will be fine! Many are running that tire with out fender mods. I have 19x10 +38 with 275/35/19 and had slight rub on big bumps and dips so I rolled the fenders. Just got rid of my last rub issue last nite.

You probably will need to roll the fenders...

Lowered on Springs or Coils?

19x10
275/30/19 might slightly rub

Your on eibachs so thats like a .8 - 1inch drop right?....its not like your on Teins where its like a 1.5inch drop.

Im not the wheel master, so I would def. ask Combfilter, Javy or Pocky

275/30/19 will not rub and not require fender mods with your drop. You are okay!

what would require fender mods is the 275/35. Trust me I have this tire and I am on TeinS springs and its more of a drop then the Eibach

You can make this work! I did...You will need to roll those rear fenders. More aggressive roll on the driver side then the passenger side. I think my TeinS springs have a slightly lower drop then your springs? Let me know if i can get you any info.
