Yes it will certainly rub. You need to roll about 10mm out of your fender sir.

A 9.5" +45 will fit without rubs from my experience in that tire size. You're off of that by 10mm.

im looking to get a similar set up 19x8.5 front with 35+ and 245/35/19..........rear is at 19x9.5 35+ with 265/30/19....

im on jic's and can adjust the height if necessary, but im hoping it can be avoided...i really dont want to have to roll anything.

will the slimmer 265 tire prevent rubbing???

If you don't want to roll i think you're SOL.

The 265/30/19 is just too short a tire imho. You need either a

245/35 = 275/30 almost, even 275/30 is a little shorter than stock.

or go with 255/35/19 in the rear. But i still think you'll need a minor roll.
