final two.
after some time driving now and removing the wheels again on the lift and investigating i am not rubbing anywhere in the wheel wells front nor rear. I did cut away some carpet in the rear which i had to or else i woud have rubbed. I am not rubbing the metal bumper bracket in the rear that many others have been rubbing. I am running a +33 rear so i should be but there are two factors working in my favor. One is i went with 19"s instead of 20"s. second is i went with a 30 rear sidewall which is what you should run if you are using 20"s not 19"s. I should be using a 35 rear. but since i went down to 30 it gave me the extra room to keep clear of the bracket. the fronts are a 35 which should be a 40 which also gives me more space. I rubbed the stock plastic in the front fender wells on my oem wheels and tires with the 45 front. not with the wider wheel, more aggressive offset but smaller side wall i dont rub. I do rub the little mud guards that are in front of the front wheels. the small black plastic flaps that hang down. When hitting a dip in the road at speed or the gutter's down at the end of my drive way i scrape that part. but thats it.
