    Depending on width and offset they may rub.

    I have 19x8" +40mm Offset with 235/35-19s and they rub at stock height with a load in the back.

    A 19x7.5" with a 225/35-19 should fit 99% of 8G without rubbing at all, even when dropped. Though I'd still recommend rolling the fenders if you lower the car.

    Offset plays a big part. I have 19x8 with a +40 offset. They came with 225/35-19's on them but 2 tires had really bad camber wear and the other 2 were new. I found a killer deal on 2 245/35-19's everyone said they would not work, but I said what the fu*k and tried them out. They fit in the back with no rubbing at all and they tuck but they don't work in the front the front. I say if you run a 7.5 rim go with a 225/35. If you do an 8 or 8.5 go with 235/35. I plan on picking up a whole set of 235/35-19's soon myself.

    Yup get a high # offset. mine is at 30 and it sticks out.

    so the higher the offset, the more it stickes out, right? so whats a good number on the offset?

    No it is the other way around:
    Offset: measurement of the wheel's centerline in relationship to your hub flange. Zero offset puts the hub flange at the center of the rim. Negative offset moves the rim out away from the vehicle and causes more of the more the wheel to stick out from under the truck. Positive offset moves the tire and wheel toward the vehicle.

    I'm surprised you could fit 245s in the rear with a +40mm offset. If I had that size I'd be rubbing all day long on the rear knuckles. Though this firms up the notion that the rear suspension is slightly different from 1999-2001 and 2002-2003.

    I have 19x7.5 with 225/35 and +42 offset. Im also dropped 1.3 rear and 1.8 front. No rubbing at all.

    my offset is +45. My fenders are rolled and I'm probably dropped about 2" all around but I also have excessive negative camber so I do not rub at all.

    19x8.5 +48mm 235/35zr19 dropped close to 3" camber corrected front and rear:

    no rubs, but it would if i didn't have full coilovers and cut out rear fenders.

    I have 19x8's @ Stock height, wrapped in 235/35/19's. I was rubbing in the rear anytime I had more than 200lbs in the back. So I opted to shave my rear fenders and that solved the problem. I would recommend this tire size if you're rims are 7.5" or wider.
