I'll keep you posted once I install the H&R in May. At the worst case of rubbing, I will switch my tires with my brother Lexus... he is running General 265/30/19 with rolled fenders, so he has room for my 275/30. At least, I dont waste my new 275 tires.
While measuring my wheels, I noticed the inner hubs of my wheels dont have a lot of material where the lug holes are... so I'd rather not shave those for safety purpose... hehehe!

Jeff, do you think I could run these wheels with this setup?
8,5J 19" ET35

I would probably go with 245/30/19 tires in the back (yes a little stretch)
A friend of mine is selling his wheels for a ridiculous price and I want 19" for the winter because the stock 18" are too small.

maybe with the stretched tire. a 275 would never fit but I bet with a 245 or 255 you'd be fine. The only problem I'd see is if you do rub it'd be the lip of the wheel not the tire.

You mean I would rub the fender on the outside or on the inside?

I don't think my car is that low, even with the H&R springs (look at pic below).
I'm only worried that due to the low ET, no matter how narrow the tires, they will rub against the fenders.
This is with 10mm spacers in the back.
