Ran a similar set up before and I had no issues with rub. Looks like you'll be good!

I had 285/30's with a 10mm on the rear, same wheel specs. No rub, though a 12.5mm might make it close, especially with no camber. Also, 35's might be too thick for the rear, front will be fine. And, front rubbed on full-lock with 265/35/19's, no spacers.

No issues.

Edit: didn't realize these are 19's. As mentioned below, too tall. My 255/35/19 already rub a bit of the fender liner.

Also, you don't need those spacers.

You guys...on the front a 265/35/19 is going to rub like hell and not because of the width but the height. Also a 285/35/19 is almost a 27" tall tire, way to tall for the rear. I run a 275/30/19 on a 19X10 ET25 with no rub on the front. To the OP, you need to run a 30 series tire not a 35.

Dave is correct, the tire sizes are incorrect. They are too tall, especially in the rear. In terms of the wheel fitment, they will bolt on just fine, but do not need the spacers you have listed.

In terms of tires, you should run 265/30-19 or 275/30-19 front. In the rear, 285/30-19 or 295/30-19.

Thanks for all the input. I listed the spacers cause' I already have them on there. I'll be taking them off. I went with 265/30-19 front 285/30-19 to be on the safe side. Trying out the Kumho Ecsta PS91's.

Hi guys, don't want to thread jack but it looks like OP has his answer. I have a question out to several folks that you all may be able to help me answer. I've bought some Vorsteiner vff 101's (19x9.5 and 19x10.5 - offset of 22 and 25) and I'm coming from a stock Comp package with ZCP 359's and I've been told several different things regarding tire size. First I got 255/35/19 in the front and 275/35/19 in the rear from a tire rack support person and then 255/35/19 and 285/35/19 from a moderator and then.... 275/30/19 and 295/30/19 from a Vorsteiner rep. Slightly confused at this point so I'm searching threads and looking for help

That car means business. Looks identical to my old SG E92.
