Wheel upgrade question (fender rolling)

Got a line on some beautiful 19" hre's. need to run a 10 mm spacer in the rear. I have stock euro ride height suspension. Do you think there will be any rubbing? Will I need to roll the fenders?? pics are with a 5mm spacer. Did not have all the wheels,or long enough lugs to do a test drive, but as of now there is about an inch of clearance.

More help needed before pulling the trigger..

Tire sizes on the rims are 235/35 and 295/30 19.

will these work or will, or will damage be done. tried to search but could not find the old thread I was looking for on tire sizes. TIA.

What are the offset and width?

I'm running 19x11.5 in the rear with a +33 offset and 315/25/19 tires. I'm also on PSS9's. I think I heard the tires rub the fenders once on a hard mid turn bump.

I'm probably going to get the fender lips rolled a little.

I love the way the splitters came out thou
Thanks, did I get the angle right??

Not sure of the offsets right now. More concerned with the tire size and if they will cause damage to my differential.

I had rub problems with 295/30 19 (Continental); none with 315/25 19 & I've lowered the car 20mm since. BTW, I hope you know the gearing will be off with the 295/30
