Lowering my car

I'm gonna be ordering kw v1s soon and have a question about how my current wheel/tire setup will fit.

Currently, I'm running 19x8.5 square set up with 235/40/19.

My question is, will that tire set up work without rubbing? I tried searching myself but I couldn't find anyone running the same setup as me.

You didn`t mention your offset on your wheels but depending on how much you drop the front you could very likely experience rubbing due to the height of your tire setup. Normally people are running a 235 35 profile on 19`s . Your setup is .93 inchs taller. Even the guys squeeking a 255 35 are -.37 inch less tall . The rear will likely be fine unless you have an extremely aggressive offset

I'm a noob with this stuff. I don't even know what offset means. I've tried looking it up to figure out how to find out what offset I have, but I don't really understand it.

Thanks for the other info though.

this is a good calculator to plug in stock size and offset VS what you plan to run and it will tell you differences
