Why 19s instead of 18s? Just feel like 18s are the sweet spot on these cars and less fitment issues....I am running same size wheels/tires but on 18s with M3 control arms and fitment is perfect IMHO.

That's gonna rub.

Put it into perspective I'm running 18x9.5 effective offset +53 with a 275/35 tire and heavily massaged/trimmed fenders on my rear narrow body. It barely fits.

I've had more aggressive fitments in the past. It's fine until you start driving hard and rubbing isn't fun.
