19".. Where does your rear tire rub againts??

I have 35mm offset, 265/30, slammed with H&R @ lowest setting, but when i have 5 people in my car, i still rub on the highway when i hit a bump, im just curious where did it rub againts?? Is it the fender? Or the bumper(bolt hanger)? I havent gotten my fender rolled yet but i dont think my tire rubs againts the fender though...

There's a plastic tab that will rub no matter what tire size you run on 9.5"+ rear wheels if you've got a decent drop with a few passengers. You have to dremel/sand/cut that plastic tab off if you want to avoid rubbing.

check where the tire is being worn out. usually you can see where the tire is rubbing.

are your tires getting chewed up when its rubbing? if it is then its rubbing against the bumper trim that blake was talking about or another piece of trim somewhere... you might also want to check the felt wheel well lining... when i had my fenders rolled/trimmed they had to cut the felt lining cuz it was rubbing like crazy in there...

in your case...most likely the inner fender lining...mine's doing the same.

if it's not touching the outer fender now...it's not gonna touch when you have ppl in the car.

i think it is just behind the rear bumper strip, because i can see it from the tire.. I had them dremmel already but yet it still rubs. And the shop that i had it done say that it is at the maximum he could cut.
