Default How Much Drop with 19" wheels in the rear!?!

Ok I am looking at dropping my car and i have 19" corvette wheels in the back and 18" wheels up front. Im not really worried about the front, its the back. Because the rear wheels are 10" wide. I already had to beat the inside of the wheel well with a hammer to get the wheels to fit. Just trying to make the car as low as possible but not rub. I just race on the weekends with friends, so nothing like strip or anything. Does anybody have the same wheels with the car lowered please post pics!!!

I run 19's and had eibach pro kit and the back tire would rum over big bumps switched to BMR rear springs and kept the eibach fronts and the stance is perfect and tires don't rub at all

Im not sure exactly what he is running, Im guessing they are either 295/30/19 or 305/30/19. Probably the 295/30's though. I am running that size as well on my 9.5" wheel.
