ehh, not really, but it's because you can't get that close to the fender without rolling the lip.

Got my new wheels...
Got my new wheels yesterday and I am going to buy tires tomorrow. They are 19x8.5/9.5 with a 35mm offset. Looks better in person! What is the best size tire to buy? I don't want the tire guy telling me I have to go with this or that. I need someone who has or had this size on their car. I want as much tire as possible without rubbing. Thanks!

for those offsets you coulld go normal fatty tires and be fine.
245/40-19 and 275/35-19 OR 245/35-19 and 275/30-19 if you want a little more clearance.

they are staggered sizes, 275 rears and 245 fronts, with those offsets/widths there is nor reason for you to stretch the tires.

So 245/40 for the front and 275/35 for the rear? I found some good deals on tire rack and just want to make sure before I do anything.

you reallly shouldnt since you're running a staggered wheel setup.
245/40 and 275/35 are the right size for your car.
