"i hella rub bad".......

maybe try putting the spacers on, but find out where it is rubbing, either on the outside wheel well where the fender comes over the wheel or if it is inside on the inner fender.

inner fender - use the spacers
outer wheel well - roll your fender up (it's probably just the screw in the middle at the top that is rubbing on your tires.

also what rims did you get?

Well the only think I can think of this the offset on those wheels are not correct. If you got the correct offset it should not rub at all. Plenty of people have 19s and couple even have 20s and they dont rub. You have to compensate evenly on the offset.

245 should fit beautiful on your car, I got 18x8.5 SSRs and I thought there was no way it will fit even the guys at Sears thought I was going to rub and it cleard perfectly. try to find out where is it rubbing first.

What width and offset did you get? It's probably your offset.
