You will rub on hard dips when you compress your suspension. It won't be TERRIBLE, but it will happen. Now if you get some meaty tires and thick sidewall, it will be worse.

265 is a lil hard to get away with without fender mods but honestly wont be a hard fit, with a 1" drop youll probably be okay

here is a 265/35/19 on a 19x10.5 26 offset


the half inch i have on width compared to yours made it kind of hard to fit the 265s i still rub on bumps and with more than 2 ppl in the car. Im lowered alot more than 1 inch though so you wont have the same camber

Its doable and very possible, but get your fenders rolled to be safe last thing u need a popped tire or fender smoking from constant rub

with a 1" drop i think youll be fine im lowered like 3 inches

youll know quickly if the tires don't clear the fenders

just drive 50 feet from the shop and check your tires

Look at my post. I have 18 x 10 +25 all the way around but i have rolled my fenders a bit. you will want to do this but take a look for fitment and how they look. Tire size is a big factor so if stretched is a look your going for or Grip, it could difine what you decide to do with your wheel offset. I have a set of +12 all the way around +25 and +35 . I would suggest you do the +25 and roll the inner fender lip and the inner wheel well lip in a bit.

You will probably have to roll/shave the fenders. It will most likely rub in the front during hard turns too.
