I don't think the contact patch between a 275 and 285 wide tire is that significant, no? I'm wondering if shaving the hub to increase offset is worth it, just to fit a slightly wider tire.
Maybe a set of coilovers will be better to raise the car and eliminate rubbing in a wider tire.

I really want to run 285s on my new set....maybe if it only rubs on bumps I will give it a shot hahaha. maybe some negative camber will help?

Nat, can u request ADV to make u 19x10 + 55mm rear? Then ur 285 should fit w/o rubbing.
And are u staying at stock height or planning on a drop? 19's w/o a drop looks funky. Lol

ah no 
with the deal I got for the SLs, the rear was already pre made to their fitment. oh well at least I will have baller wheels LOL.
10mm wont make too much of a difference in traction I guess, but I just wanted thicker sidewalls LOL.
and mann 18s too small....19s too funky without a drop....making me spend more money hahahaha. I really want KW v3 but its so expensive!

LOL.. Go all the way or go home bro!!
Well, ur 18's had meaty tires which looks fine at stock height.. Ur 19's will have low profile 30 sidewalls.. So it will show the wheel gap more trust me. I've been there done that. Lol
Btw, when r u expecting them? My god, it took HRE only 2 weeks to built my wheels. Lol
