yea my rear is 265/30/19+35 in the back and the front are 245/35/19+32 .. but with a 2'' drop and fenders rolled should be perfect and a flush look .. dont you think .. the only thing i have a thought about is when i lower it someone said i wouldnt need to roll fenders in the back with a 30 there but my offset is 35 which brings my wheels right at the rear fender
Well, a 265/30 is 1" smaller than a 265/35. That's 1/2 less rubber all the way around the tire to fill in the fender.
It isn't much, but it will create the illusion of the car being higher than it really is and create more gap around the wheel..not necessarily above it...but the sides as well.

yes i totally agreee ....but on the next rear tires i get i am deff going to go with a 265/35/19 ... so with the drop and the 30 i should roll the fenders with a +35 rear ... cause im thinkin b4 i drop it just be safe and do it now so later dow the road when i do get 35's i will be fine and that would be one less thing id have to worry about ...

yea i figured that .. but i better be safe than sorry in the future and might as well get them done now before i drop the car ... and by the time i get new tires later down the road i prob will upgrade to tein basics ... but im going to make an appointment this week depending on my work schedule and get the fenders done .. so0 hopefully soon i will post some pics of the drop on the car and get rid of my 4x4 lift haha

yupp i figures i would rub in the back but with the 30's in the rear i honestly think i will not rub at all but im still going to roll my fenders this week just so i have them done for when i get my 265/35/19 down the road ... i DEFF do not want that happening to my car thats for sure ...

dude i say roll your fenders no matter what. because if you do rub then you would have to drive around untill you roll them and that might be bad....also i stopped listening to what people say i was told that 255/35/19 in the rear with a 25 offset wont rub......ya right....and im not lowered

Take some pics and maybe we can see if there's a problem. And measure from the ground to the highest point on the bottom of the wheel arch. From what you're saying, it's going to be around 26", the same height as your 26" diameter tires, which is at least an inch lower than stock ride height. You may not be intentionally lowered, but that doesn't mean your springs are functioning correctly.
BTW, I agree with you on the rolling. If in doubt, just get them rolled.
