With wider 19" and 315x25 you may have to roll the fender lips on the rears. I had a very slight rub on the inner left rear fender liner at full compression which I fixed with 5mm spacers.

pwengland is infamous around these parts
Main issue as always is the wheels themselves and what offsets.. As covered in many other threads you pretty much have to go 235/35 and 315/25 for 19s to make sure your tyres are the right size to avoid front diff damage. I run this combo Michelin PS 2s on BBS CH-Rs on 8.5 front and 12 back and have zero problems with rubbing on a lowered car. The rear tyre is actually probably a touch better suited to and 11 inch rim as well.
