Default 19 Rimrub spacers

For All u that have 19 inch rims im running a 245/35/19 and when i hit bumps or dips or take turns sharp my tire rubs but i cant find excatly where its rubbing. Where do ur tires rub if they rub at all. Iam also planning on throwin sum 15mm spacers in the rear also should i do the front too or no?

Yeah i too have 19 rims (245/45/19) and when i got them they were rubbing. I put in some spacers (forget the size) on my rear wheels and it was fine from then on...but dont let chubby friends sit in the back or it cancels out the affect from the spacers.

p.s. another suggested option to me is to roll my fenders (where it rubs) like and inch which apparently works the same.

Rolling Fenders is when you flare out the bottom lip of the fender. They make a tool that clamps on to the hub and it rolls it out perfect. If you have skills you could use a baseball bat. My friend did it on his 240sx, with the baseball bat it came out ok, but then again its a Nissan not a Audi!
