Default putting on wheels.. problem!

okay, i got:
19/8.5 front
19/9.5 rears
Iforged Aero
TT Quattro Roadster
was about to put nitto 555 265/30/19, 235/35/19
about to consider toyo t1s if it will make it fit.

When the people from discount tire came, they first did a test fitment. while lifted on one side, the rim was really really close to touching the shocks(bilstein with eibach). They said it was about 1/8 of an inch, and that once i put on the tires (nitto 555) they might rub against the shock.

Anyone running similar sized tires have issues with the wheel clearance? Would it be fine if i just got different tires? say toyo t1s?

thanks

check inside of your wheel should have them.
get spacer to push the wheel out, if offset is not correct.
