Tein COs + 19'x8.5" wheels + vertical sidewall == rubbing
I searched, so mods please don't delete this.
I have my car lowered on Teins, with 19" x 8.5" Moven Brabus replica front wheels, offset 38mm.
The new tires I bought have a very vertical sidewall (235/35/19) and rub the lower spring perch. I need 10mm spacers.
Has anyone run 10mm spacers with these wheels (or this offset)?
Do they rub the fenders?
Do they rub the fender lining?
Do they rub a front lip? (Brabus lip installed)

Maybe you can try 5 MM spacers first and if you still want to go lower, you custom 7/8 MM spacers..
I have MOVEN with ET35 F and I can ONLY lower with a finger gap left which is pretty good for me

I also have tein basics, et28 up front (what you would have w/ spacers), and not round side walls and was rubbing a bit when I was really low, but since ive raised the suspension, I have not been rubbing at all. The biggest diff between you and I is that you are running 235 up front. You might have to be a bit higher than where Im at to not rub.
Thats just my experience...

even with 235's and 10mm spacers, you may still rub depending how low you go.
i'm using et35 with 5mm spacers and 225/35 and i clear (just barely) with my perches at around the 4th or 5th thread from the bottom....so for me, any lower, the rubbing intrusion is on the first spring coil, not the perch.
