are you dropped really low? are your fenders rolled? how wide are your wheels? what are the offset of the wheels? what brand tires are they?

you need to have the answers to all these questions first before you can find out if itll rub. chances are, the set up will probably be "typical" and itll be a 9.5" wheel, 33 to 35 offset, untouched fenders, stock sport suspension. if this is the case, no they wont rub, even if they're PSS (or other wide tires). if you're dropped AND have wide tires like PSS, itll only rub on dips.

btw, 255/35/19 is too tall for our cars anyway. if your fronts are rolling on 235/35, then the rears will be like half inch taller. thats not good for handling.

265/30 is a better (almost perfect) fit. and you wont rub.

oh. well in that case, yeah it's fine. it'll just be half inch taller than the front like i said before, but itll still be ok to roll on until you get new tires.

I would not recommend 255/35/19, as it's a bit on the tall side. If you can, swap them out for a 255/30/19 or 265/30/19.
