Tein S-tech + 19" rims

Is this a bad combination? I'm thinking of Tein S-tech lowering springs now, and int he future get some 19" Rims for the car... No shock changes, just spring. Will I rub?

it depends on the rim width, the offset, and the tire size you put on the rim. asking if you'll rub is a pretty broad question, do you know closely the exact size you're going for?

I would like 19 x 9" all around. I don't want staggered so that my tires will last longer with some front/back rotations.

depends on your tire size too, you will most likely rub if you have tires that is 255/40 or more.

I've got the S-techs on 18" wheels and think the car would look really nice with 19" wheels.

There are quite a few guys on the forum running the combination you're thinking about and it's a really nice drop. Go for it.

How about S-tech's with 18 x 8.5? I'd also prefer one tire size all around for rotations and ease (believe it or not, this was one of the reasons I picked the 8 over the 350z). So essentially what tire size would fit a 18 x 8.5 rim and without rubbing?
