Default Wheels and Tires Experts, please help...

Ok, here's the deal...

I've got a set of Axis Supermesh Wheels 19X8.5 front, and 19X9.5 rears. Supposedly I'll need to run 25mm spacers with the rears since they may rub. Also, I've got a set up Bridgestone Tires, 235/35/19 and 275/30/19. I would like to know if anyone would be able to calculate to see if these would fit. If not, what can be done to make them fit?

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!!!!

Aahh, another "staggered person"! Some nice wheels you got there. It would be better if you had 265/30/19 for your rear wheels which equates to the height of the 235/35/19. The 275s have a larger sidewall (in other words they're taller) than your fronts. This setup is not right. Look into the table in the link for more info. If you mentioned the offsets of the wheels, I could possibly tell you how thick the spacers need to be so as not to rub... Just so you know, Quattrings has the exact same wheels at the same dimensions. If the offsets are the same, you need a 20mm spacer in the rear to come flush with your fender line without rubing.<ul><li><a href="http://www.goodyeartires.com/goodyeartireselector/display_tire.jsp?prodline=Eagle+F1&amp;mrktarea=Pe rformance">http://www.goodyeartires.com/goodyeartireselector/display_tire.jsp?prodline=Eagle+F1&amp;mrktarea=Pe rformance</a</li></ul>
