Stock height + 245/35/19= Rubbing?

stock height 07 ss/sc. Putting 19s on it with a 245/35/19 tire, anybody have experience with this size and if so any issues? Am I going to need to roll the fenders?

Thanks

this might help you, its a tire size calculator. Overall you may be risking slight rubbing.

Diameter goes from 25.6 to 25.8.. doesnt seem like much to me? My concern is the width, and that calculator didnt help me finding the difference in width. If I do end up rubbing, does someone know where a good (how to: Roll Fenders) thread is?

SS/SC's came with 215/45/18's, which are 25.6". 245's should be fine without lowering, but 19's without a drop isn't going to look very good.

Big wheels with no drop is a big no no! That is all.

i can almost guarantee that you won't notice the missing fifth of an inch in your wheel well.......

i would agree on the lowering bit.

going to put them on now. What do I look for in rubbing? when i turn all the way left and right, but what should I look for in the back? Will this be something I will notice before I go drive it? I was also looking for a "how to" roll fenders, but I had no luck. If someone could tell me or post a link I would really appreciate it. Thanks for the help.

they are on. NO rubbing, its snowing so i cant do any hard driving but so far so good... I'll put pics on the 19' club site. thanks for the help

Looks good... I think! lol. Aren't those 8" wide? 235's would have been plenty wide. I have 235's on 8.5" wide 19's. Let us know if they rub at all. Your car looks lowered. I thought you were stock height?
