No scraping for me and speedo seems damn accurate also.

I'm on Lovells, seems fine and seems enough clearance to handle a bit more

Its not just the size but who manufactures it that can make a difference.
I run 245/35x19 on my VZ and my current Falken 452'2 and my original Yokohama's are a wider carcass and tread than Kumho KU19/KU31's.
My car is FE2 height and I had to trim where the rear bumper meets the wheel arch to fit my current Falkens mounted on 8 1/2" rims.
here are pics showing the difference between my original yoko's and Kumho's, both 245/35 on the same rims.

Rim width would also be a factor to consider.

Ran 245/35/19s on both my stock VX and VY no problems. on full lock i had the slightest graze on the plastic guard on the inside but that flexes.
