Thanks guys!!

Wheels and tire specs are
19x9.5 +30 225/35
19X10.5 +29 265/35

I'm thinking about going to smaller tire in the rear 265/30 or 255/35, the other option is getting a camber arm as others had mentioned.

I'm rubbing front and rear.

The front i rolled and slightly pulled, bang the metal peice that meets the fender and bumper, trimmed and heat gunned liner.

The rear i shaved fenders. On the rear i think i'm rubbing the corner where it meets the bumper. Any idea's what to do? I'd hate to raise it.

Raise it i not an option

You have to cut that piece (where it meets the bumper) and move that screw

Are you running camber kits?? It doesn't look like you have too much camber.

on the front, look where is the screw, you have to cut that and place the screw a lil bit more where the tire dont touch it ( is hard to explain

)

what i did for the rear when i had more aggresive offset is shave that metal tab or whatever it is right where the bumper meets the body. it worked out pretty good. it still rubbed when i had some people in the back tho. looking good keep it up!

to the OP: with a 10.5 +29 rear, I suggest going with 255/35 but you still have to shave the tabs fronts and back(some people use a hammer and just keep banging it, I used a dremel and just kept on shaving) for the fronts: locate the screws, remove them and drill them further up and then shave the old spot completely. for the rears: i didnt move any screws but i did shave the tabs. i hope these help.
