just saw the coupe ^^^
are you crazy--you need at least (rear)+38-42/fender roll and +45 and no fender roll. Front--try +38
You will RUB
Dunlop Direzzas should help with clearance.
Get a wheel that fits the car, don't fix the car to fit the wheel.

Yeah the same exact thing just happened to me as well recently, except i have a coupe.
I just got my 19"s(19x8.5 Front/19x10 back) on this last Sunday, and the rears rub pretty bad. But i noticed that after the fender goes down it bends in so theres a small flap of the fender just sitting there, and i also realized that flap is what was hitting the tires simple because of the rubber that flap scaped off.
So basically what i'm going to do is bend that flap inward and up to line with the fender itself, and it should do the job. So yes, rolling your fenders should be the answer, unless sedans are different, and it's actually hitting your wheel well.

it is not only the offset, but also the tires that you are using: maybe you are stretching the tires or are going with extra thin tires.
However, with stock sized tires, I can say you would rub 99% of the time with such offsets on such rim widths

Dunno man I used the recommended 245/35 19 front and 275/35 19 in the rear. I have no clue wether they are thinner then the stock..What i do know is that I didnt change the tire circumference. All that was changed was the width I.E tire is wider
that's pretty interesting..
cause there are some cases where people are running stock 19" rims with stock tires on their sedans..and they are ALREADY rubbing..
but well, it is good that you can run that setup on your car without rubbing

Yea, just went to a shop to get some advise about what i should do. I just purchased 19" Iforged Aeros and JUST put them on this last Sunday. And the rears rub everytime i even think about making a tight turn. I've been driving like grandma lately taking turns at 5mph and getting honked at by everyone. I'm getting pretty good at giving the finger nowadays.
Anyways, they told me i could either roll my fenders and take the chance of not solving the problem 100%, or since my wheels are three piece, have them sent to iforged and push the center out about half an inch to move the entire wheel inwards, which was more of a suggested way to go.
By the way if anyone's interested in seeing a Black Coupe with Iforged Aeros i'll be making a new thread with pics.
I know i couldn't find any pics prior to the purchase

Well I've decided to go get my fenders shaved. I was told by many people that it's a better option than simply rolling then. Thanks for the offer in renting the tool though. It's going to rain all week in NY so I'll get some pics afterwards.

When you cut and then spray primer and paint on the cut line it will not stick to it well enough to stop rust from coming back. There is two seams where the inner and outer fender meet and spot welds all along that section of the fender. You cut, you release the spot welds, the fender will then flex in that area and rub against each other. So it will rub away any paint that you just put on. You will have rust problems that won't stop. I have done a lot of research on this before I bent my fender lips up which is the safest way to do.
