I know that a 275/35 tire will physically fit on a 19x9 rim, but since I am lowered 1" with the Steeda Sport Springs, will the tires rub in the front? The dude on the phone at TireRack.com thinks they will. In fact, he thinks they will rub even if not lowered. What do you all think?

If they do manage to fit it would probably be just barely.
I would have to suggest a 255 or so tire

They will fit fine with plenty of clearance. I have a buddy who runs 275/35/19 Hankook V12's on his Brembo wheels with Steeda Ultralite springs. I run 285/35/18 Hankook RS3's and 295/30/18 Hoosier A6's on my car with KW V3's and a 2" drop. My sig pic is 295/30's with the 2" drop.

well, they fit, but do you actually increase the contact patch?

9" rim width is the minimum for that tire.

Right, but is that a problem? It will fit the rim ... barely, but will it rub?

No, it won't rub. Read my previous post.

I read it immediately after you posted. I appreciate your input but I was hoping for more opinions.

There are 12 pictures here of my buddy's with 275/35/19 on his Brembo wheels.

I have 275/35 on a 9.5" rim. Lowered. No rubbing.
