Default 19" Axis Shine staggered rub the rear???

Hi,

Will 19x8.5 +35 and 19x9.5 +40 w/ 245/35 and 275/35 cause any rubbing, front/rear?
I got a quote from wheelfire w/ the same wheel and tire size and ensure me that it will not rub. HOWEVER, other vendors like need4speed, elementwheels, buywheeltoday said differently.

I don't even know who to believe. Does anyone know personally if this wheel/tire size combo will cause any rubbing?

Thanks much

I have the exactly the same set-up as you, the only
Difference is that my wheel is 45 offset. I have zero
Problems with my wheels rubbing.

Hi, I have 19*8,5 in front with offset 38
In first i had 245 tires in front and it rubbed when i turned!!
They changed it in the shop after 3 days in 225 tires (maybe 235 is also good) and no rubbin anymore. The 225 is also better comfort and less sound when you drive.
In the back i have 19*9,5 with 275/35/19 with offset 40 and it's no problem.
I'm lowered with Eibach and even with 5 persons in it it doesn't touch the fenders.

You'll be fine. I've run a 275 tire with a +36 offset in the rear with no rubbing issues.
