Am I gonna rub?
 
Currently have a 19x9.5 +15 (no spacer) up front. I have a 245/35 tire with slight stretch I’m at -3 Camber in the front. Pretty “slammed” I guess you can say only about 1” between wheel barrel of wheel and fender. Front & rear.

I did some research and found some guys running 245/40 +0 on a 19x9.5 at about the same height as me. Idk how. My question comes into play b/c I have a 19x11 +15 in rear currently at +5 due to a 10mm spacer and extended studs via Z1. Got the Z1 25mm (1”) spacers for rear as I have the room for it and it will put me exactly where I want if my measurements are correct in rear. Successfully putting me at 19x11 -10 rear. Which should fit perfect. So not worried or asking about that. But....

My current 10mm spacer I have and extended studs in rear I want to swap to my front. So I will be at 19x9.5 +5 on 245/35 in front and 19x11 -10 rear 275/35 !! I’ve seen it “done” and they say they don’t rub like crazy but I rub pretty good on inclines now on front only. With a 10mm spacer won’t I rub way worse? Or will the wheels camber in as suspension travel happens like normal and as wheel articulates in a turn it shouldn’t rub b/c well science. Idk I’ve had cars have credit card fitment and somehow not rub and seen people on here do it. But am I crazy?

Picture for reference , as you can see I have space in rear for the additional 15mm of spacer I am adding , and the front wheels offset is not near enough for me. It’s way to sunk in. Just adding 10mm seems fine and will get my offset perfect. But rubbing on turn / full lock and inclines is my concern. Guess ya pay to play tho :)

Dam I dont even know how you dont rub right now. I just lowered my car on KW V3's and im not as low as you and I rub the bumper tab going into steep driveways. Im on stock sports with 265 front + 20mm spacer.

Probably due to the fact you have a 265 and stock sport wheel is 19x9 +47 so you’re a 19x9 +27 and 265 tire is a lot bigger than a 245/35 when it comes to width believe it or not. If you were a 245/35 as well you’d be just fine. But yeah I rub the bumper tab as well on steep inclines. That’s all. And it’s not awful just hear the tire tread grabbing it. That’s why I’m scared another 10mm but I’ve seen members on here running 19x9.5 with +0 and saying they don’t have issues I have no idea. I also know being “slammed” gives you the Camber you need to clear a little better.
