Rubbing help! (noob)

Hey guys, I am having rubbing issues in the rear with the below setup.

19 x 8.5 et 35 on 245/35/19
19 x 9.5 et 33 on 265/35/19

I have Apex Arc - 8 wheels and Hanook Ventus V12s for tires. I have the factory sport suspension.

I did not want to get my fenders rolled, and there wasn't much camber left for adjustment (according to my mechanic) I'm going to bite the bullet and get new tires, but I dont know what size to buy.

Should I buy 255/35/19? 265/30/19? or 255/30/19?

Any input would be appreciated! Thanks fellas!

Will that still look nice? I would of course like as aggressive as a look as I can have, without fitment issues.

Thanks for your help guys! I'm going with 265/30. Hoping they don't rub. On a related note, my 265/35s are for sale!

How do you manage to rub with that set up? Im aggressively lowered with 10mm spacers up front because of my coilovers with 255/35/19 and 275/30/19 in the rear and im not rubbing. i only rubbed when i have 12mm spacers in the rear because i need to roll my fenders. What tires are you currently running?

Im not sure why Im rubbing. I thought it might be because of the sport suspension. Im using Hanook Ventus V12s, maybe they are beefier?

E90 or E92? If its an 2011 e90(lci) you have 8mm less room in the back than a prelci e90. Even with that I don't see how these specs could rub that much and a little bit of negative camber should have taken care of any rubbing. From the factory camber can go up to -3 degrees(or close to it). You dont want that much camber or your tires will wear unevenly, but I doubt that its really at the end of the adjustment. Find out what they set the camber at.

Edit- Didnt realize you have the wrong sized tires. 265/35/19 is too tall. 255/30/19 or 265/30/19 is the right diameter.

I changed my order from 235/40/19 & 265/35/19 to 235/35/19 & 265/30/19. You shouldn't have any issues with the latter. I am going to take some measurements after they are installed to see what spacers I can buy before getting an alignment.

Yes 40 might have been too tall! Oh nice, are you going for an aggressive offset?

No I just want them to be a little more flush. I would rather not run into any rubbing issues vs having it look nice when parked.

Pre LCI cars have more room in the rear for a bigger tire. I just had my 265/30/19 installed today and I would not be able to fit a 275 without some more negative camber.
