As above, I'm getting 245/35/19s tomorrow and I want to know if they will fit without scrubbing?

No problems, unless you are getting rims with hectic offset.

Are you running 245 wide tyres?
I've got 245 on 18" rims and chinese tyres were fine, but now with Kumho 245s it scrapes when the suspension travels much at lock.
Then I lowered it and it scrapes on lock regardless of bumps now.

What profile tire are you running?
245/40/18 - tyres are now KU31s and they scrub whereas the "Autogrip" cheap tyres didn't scrub - so remember, not all 245s are 245. They should be somewhere around 243 to 247mm, but some manufacturers aren't even that close.
Oh and my wheels are only 7.5" wide and not sure of offset. An 8" rim might slightly affect the dimensions also - sometimes there's only a couple mm clearance.

I know the tyres are Achilles ATR Sport all round so they aren't a cheap, non heard of brand. And yeah without knowing the offset, it makes it a bit harder to figure it out before buying as well. Hopefully all goes well though!

Just keep in mind that they aren't load rated which, strictly speaking, makes them illegal.

I had 255 on the rear with Lovell SL on 9" rims with +34 offset. Wasn't a issue.

Currently running 245/35/19 on coilovers..
19x8.5"
+38 offset
No scrubbing at all.. Just gotta get a decent alignment.

Guys, OP is talking about AWDs here. The biggest issue is with the rear upper control arm. The wrong offset with too wide a tyre will scrub the arm regardless of whether it is lowered or not. The AWDs have a thicker upper control arm compared with FWDs. I had a fingers thickness gap between the tyre and arm when I had 225/45R18 on 18x8 with 35+ offset wheels and now have less than that with 235/45R18 on the same wheel. However, as those tyres are smaller in OD by 10mm compared with OEM tyres, you may get away with not touching the control arm. In the end, as Red Valdez said, those tyres are illegal on the AWDs as most of them will be 93 load rated instead of at least 95. Ones that are rated higher will cost a lot more.
