Alright, I just wanna make sure get everything right. I'm looking to get a set of Ruff Racing 278's in a 19" staggered setup. I know I will have to get my fenders rolled, but my question is: If I get 275s (vs 265s) in the rear will that require MORE rolling, and is that anything to be concerned about.
I also have a set of Eibach lowering springs, and was wondering what problems that would arise from these.
Thanks!
EDIT: Looking at 19x8.5-35mm, 19x9.5-45mm with 245/35/19, 275/30/19. I was told they would mill out rims 3mm for $10...This is something I should do, correct???

If anyone could give me some feedback I'd appreciate it! I want to place my order tomorrow morning.

Having your Eibach lowering springs I would get the 265's and if they work out ok then you can step it up to a 275 later if you think they will fit. I would be real worried about rub with over 1 inch lower in back and that combination though. You're pretty much going to have to cut almost all of your fender lip off.

Having the rim milled 3 mm will help, but I don't think it will be enough. (You'll need to roll the fenders no-matter-what, but it's not a big deal.) If you use a Toyo 275/30/19 it should fit, but there's no guarantee. Try to buy the 275's rear tires locally so they can mount them and check the clearance (have the 265's there too, just in case). Be sure to have the fenders rolled before you do anything. Only the top needs to be rolled (not the sides). Some tire shops also roll fenders and that would be very convenient.

i have eibachs too and a 35 offset upfront with my rims. They do rub but only on large bumps or dips on highway spirited driving. I now have stock 18's i'm going back to.

With 265s in the rear it will fit with cut/rolled fenders. A guy on here had eibach's with 265s on a 19x9.5 wheel with a 45et.
BTW - ruff wheels in 19s are super heavy and will slow you down a lot.. I would either get these in 18s (wink wink) or a different, not so heavy wheel.

Weight isn't a big factor for me, and I had been looking at your wheels... and I could save nearly $1000 too!
