For the wheel and tire experts

What is the widest wheel tire combinations you can run front and back without rubbing assuming lowered by 1inch all around. No wide body and rolling the fenders. Looking for offsets and tire sizes. Thanks in advance.

19x9 +38 w/245-35-19 front
19x10 +53 w/275-30-19 rear

This combo was what I had in mind before ordering my HRE, but was suggested smth less aggressive.

Fitting 285/30/19 on our cars w/o rubbing is tricky. U would need +55mm & higher offset.

FWIW I have 10.5's in the back, I believe the offset is 52. Running a 275 PSS on it lowered on H&R Springs. No rubbing issues.

Stretching 275 on 10.5 must help clearance. Do u think 285 will clear?

^ Don't think so. I rubbed 1 time with the car on an embanked shoulder with 5 people in the car. That being said, I think a 285 COULD work, but I feel like it would rub under less extreme circumstances.

I could always try?

Yeah, if ur wheels are indeed +52mm, 285 will need at least +55mm.. But again ur 10.5 might help with a little stretch.

Yea, like I said I bet it would work under perfect conditions IE flat roads. I have to go over 2 sets of railroad tracks on my commute, one of which is pretty brutal, and I think I would rub there. Other than that on otherwise flat roads I'm sure I'd be fine seeing as I never have people in the car. I've had 5 people in it once and rarely 2 including myself.

Maybe I will try on a more aggressive tire than the PSS. I feel like the PSS will work best at 275 for me.

Maybe a drag tire or something like that.

Porsche 911 Turbo S 2014! E63S 14, Audi S8 13, CLS63 12, E550 12, C63 09, all tuned
Yeah I track 255/285, no rubbing Dunlop Race MAXX sports.
Tracking 265/265 Hoosier run great too.
But daily driver 245/275 works best.

MB 2009 C63 AMG
Stock 5 Spoke Rims Rear / WIDEST Soft Tires?????

The C63 was ECU tuned from Weistec increasing power 545HP/502lb/ft
My C63 has Stock Rims w/ 255/35/R18 Tires. I want to lower the Car w/ H&R Springs. But I also want to get some badly needed Grip for the Rear Tires.
0-60 3.84 and one run at 0-60 3.79 Start is lightly Downhill 3-5 degrees

They Break Loose at any speed up to 65mph. The Tires are Goodyear Eagle F1 300/AA/A

I want to know how wide a rear tire can be fit 265 or 275 or 285 & Still lower car 1.2 in rear and get some Gosh Darn GRIP. In 1500 miles I have Lost 1.8" tread. I tried different pressures to no avail.

I know I need a Softer Tire, But how wide can I safely Go and not Rub when lowered????????????????????

Wait...You're running a square setup? 265/30/20 all around?
