Hi I need some advice please. I just upgraded my 18x8.5s all around with 245-40-18s to 19x10 on rear with 285-35-19s and 19x8 on front. The tires came with the wheels and were bought used. Discount changed them out today and we were worried that I would get some rubbing so after harshly pushing on back suspension before I left all looked okay. After just a few minutes down road, especially when I turn I can hear a loud rubbing coming from rear.

I know the rear tires are big for wheel and our car. A friend of mine on his supra is running 275-30-19 on his 10s at the back and I'm assuming (someone please confirm) that this would be a shorter diameter? Do I have to roll fenders for this to work or would changing the tires suffice? I do not know the offset on wheel but the tire comes right out to edge of fender flush. As far as I can tell it may be a little tucked under, maybe barely. I used to have a two finger gap on rear and now it is barely one.

If I have to roll how much should I expect it to cost? Would I take it to a body shop? I'm in the Dallas, TX area if someone knows a good spot that would be helpful. Any help would greatly be appreciated, the wheels look great and would hate to put 18s back on.
Thanks

yeah, youll probably need smaller diameter tires. and to be safe you should just roll/cut your fender lips off. that makes life so much easier. trust me.

What's the expected cost of rolling the fender lips?

You can fit 11 " rims with 295 in the back all you need is the proper offset..Iam currently running 295 35 18 on a 10 inch rim with a moderate fender roll done by the previous owner....that being said do you have pics of your setup you can post ? I can possibly help if you can show me where it's rubbing. I do not recomend you roll ..just cut the inside edge of the fender until it's flush.... I have done this to many cars and it is the best way to go.

Thanks for the help, I will post pics tomorrow with closeups of the wheel.

I bought a fender roller for $250 and did it myself. Where in TX are you?

rolled mine... 275/30's...

part of your problem is definitely the diameter... a 285/35-19 is 26.85" tall... correct diameter should be around 25.75" tall... Depending on offset will tell you whether rolling will work....

and for the record, rolling fenders is my preferred method - maintains the integrity of the fender, and is much less damaging to tires should they come in contact...

Sorry that has not been my experience, if done correctly and grinded down properly you will have no problems and will be able to fit a more aggresive offset than rolling...this without risking paint damage to the out side of your fender.. The integrity of the fender is never a question trust me... they are quite thick .

more aggressive than rolling? mine are two pieces of sheet metal thick... it doesn't get any thinner than that... no paint damage when done properly either...

spl parts in austin tx rents out the fender roller for $30 week + shipping. Also if you can get 265/30/19 in the rear and roll fender and you will be all good.

Thanks for the replies guys, here are some pics. I am in the Dallas - Plano area. So basically the tires will not work regardless of rolling?

Let me know if anymore pics would be helpful as to if this size tire will work.
Thanks

ah, you can probably get rid of 90% of the rubbing by removing the black fender things and rolling... the tire is still too tall and that may still contribute to some, but it will be manageable...

shave the fender and add a little neg camber, itll fit fine
