Let me know how it goes.
Are you getting 5mm spacer and will change your studs too, iialcii?

Since I have to change studs anyway, now I'm thinking to get 10mm spacer to make it +35. More flush is better...

Will I have any rubbing issue with +35 in the rear with 275/30/19 and 1 inch drop? I know +40 won't, what about +35 in that setup?

you may have slight rub over dips and large bumps but nothing that should cause any problems. you could always go with a 265/30 if you wanted. Personally I would stick with the 275

are you 9.5 or 10" rear if you are 9.5 then the +35 is perfect and you wont have any issues.

I have 9.5 rear.. 275/30/19 +35, so should cause no issues, shouldn't it?

^ Yea go 10mm then. It will be perfect. for some reason I thought you where 10"....glad I asked. that will be perfect. I want to say that Javy is the same offset with a 9.5" rim. I like the 275 tire better but its all preference.

Spacers move the wheel's centerline off the bearing's centerline and create a constant vector load on the bearing. This shortens the service life and could potentially lead to catastrophic failure of your wheel bearing. That's the downside.
