Eibach Pro-kit + 19" Wheels

I'm thinking about getting both and was wondering if I'd have enough tire clearance. If not, I'd just get the wheels. Anyone with this particular setup?

u got a 3.5 so it will be a 1" drop, you wont have any problems whatsoever as long as you stick with regular rim/tire size, 8-8.5 rim width

I don't get it; what would tire width interfere with tire clearance (given i'm not trying to get superwide drag tires)

How low was the drop? Do you have problems when going over bumps or rough roads?

I'm on S-techs and don't rub with my 19's.
Rims with a +45 offset seem to work well with no problems.
