W204 rear wheel tire width question

So I have a 2013 C63 with aftermarket 19x10 inch rear wheels currently running Michelin super pilot sports at 265/30 19's in the rear anyone go wider on tires without any rubbing I'm hearing mixed reviews from different vendors. At least a 275?

I don't know the offset without calling where I bought them. But they are Forgestar CF5V's if that helps.

I didn't go with miche because they run a tiny bit fatter and wanted to be safe, so I used hankooks. I think your offset is 52, and you should be fine with mich 275/30. I'm not 100% though since I don't have personal experience with them.

I think Forgestar does come in +48 & +52.

U will rub with 275 on +48, but will be fine on +52

I'm running 19x10 +50 with 275/30 PSS no rubbing but very close. I did rub on the passenger rear with a full trunk & passengers in back seat.

I am on Forgestar CF10 19 x 10 +52 with PSS 275/30/19 on stock height. On heavy load or big bumps at speed I sometimes get the slighest snick of rub - so minor I have never been able to identify the rub spot. There does seem to be some variation between cars as there are people here with same setup sizing and lowering with no rubbing.

Your 275 tyre width will vary between brands.

I would love to run a 285 PSS but it is just too wide (confirmed by local Michelin race tyre supplier who was seen my car and told me the 275 was too small for the rim but agreed I would never get the 285 to fit without major issues).

Your slight rub should be on the bumper tab. That's the only thing I rubbed on and a slight fender rub if I go up a driveway at a weird angle.
I'm planning to remove it and zip tie it tight.

Thanks. One of these days I will have a really good look under the rear guards.
