i would have your fenders rolled in the rear. it's not that big of a deal at all. i am also running 265/30/19, and whether you rub or not depends a lot on what tire you pick. my car was very very low on H&R coilovers, yet i had my fenders rolled - and when i had falken grb-fk451 265/30/19, it never rubbed, even with 5 people in the car...when i switched to goodyear eagle f1 gs-d3 in the same 265/30/19 size, it rubbed from a standstill, so i had to raise it. what tires are you running? in my opinion, the falkens (now fk452) are very generous when you want to run big tires in the rear, but their performance is not as good as others. i would still roll the fenders in the rear anyway. good luck with your situation

It not really a roll the fender but more like trim/cut the fender and the plastic bumper. All my 3 mercedes with wider set-up then factory rub at the fender and bumper joint/meet.
