Installing 19" (235/35/19) AWD and F-Sport Springs. Am I going to rub?
Should I expect any rub with this set up? Its AWD so the wheels will be 235/35/19 all the way around, and the F-Sport springs drop about 1 inch.
What should I expect?

maybe.
if the rubbing bothers you, just roll the fenders.

if you take it to a shop and tell them to roll your fenders...they will know exactly what it means.
just do a search.

I was going to post up the same question as I'm doing exactly the same thing - 235/35/19 on AWD with F-Sport. Anyone out there with the identical setup willing to share their experience?

i don't think it will rub, doesnt it have to do more with the offset of the wheels if it does rub?

those tires and 19" rims are fine. Its the offset you need to worry about. If you are +33 or higher then you are okay and wont need to do anything. If you go more then +33 with the 1" drop then you will need to do some fender mods depending on offset. I was +33 with the same size tire and only had slight rub on the plastic liner going down my driveway with the wheel turned all the way.

Unit74 - You're running the extra wide rims front and rear, right?
