275/30/19 in the back and 245/35/19 in the front. If wheels are the correct fitment, this is pretty common to use and should not likely require modification.

Not sure if it will rub, but I would love to see the finished product of everything together...I debating on 20's or 19's...PICTURES PLEASE????
