19x10's on rear will need 40+ offset minimum. I am having my arches rolled tom ... I have 19's with 31 offset with 285x30's and it JUST catches on max compression - so want to get it clear ... its either that or having the wheel hub shaved...
I prefer to roll the fender than shave the wheel as I like the wider track and stance it gives the car...

What rear offset are you running and what rear tyre size?

5mm and rolled the fenders. So the new offset is 38 and even with the rolled fenders it still rubs.

What tyres u running 285?
I think you need to shave another 2mm off the rim and you should be clear .. Jangy is THE man on this though.
How much extra space does rolling the fender give you?
You could also add some camber to the wheel ... not ideal in terms of alignment but a small amount goes along way to help here.
The way I look at this you have very similar to me ...
You have 33 - 6.35mm (for extra halfinch width) gives you 26.65 nett + 5mm shave gives u effective 31.65mm on a 9.5" which is slightly better than my 31 offset. If you are still catching with a fender roll then I should too
.
Actually you should be slightly better off in that the tyre should tuck in better on a 10" rim.
Being lowered you need to take more off the rim another 5mm if you can ...
Anyhow I am seeing the fender shop tom ... will let you know how it goes...
