the sidewall effects the rub just as much as the width. if you run a 35 rear you WILL rub. if you run a 30 it will be minimal, and most people run 35's because of price. just putting it out there. 265/30/19.

I drive the racism out of BadDebt. ;)
sorry, I mis-informed you guys. I took off my rear wheel lastnight to confirm the offset. It is originally ET45..and with the adittional HR hub adapter at 15mm; that makes the overall ET of 30now.
Im still lowered on HR Springs with the pad #2. She only rubs when I hit super big dips on the road, but that might be due to my aging struts that need to be replaced soon.
My fronts are 235/35/19. I also have spacers up front, iirc they are HR 10mm...I cannot remember the offset of the front wheels.
Front rims are 235/35/19 - 19x8.5
Rear rims are 275/30/19 - 19x10
No ESP lights or malfunctions yet. The only problem i seem to run into is that with the wider stance, the ride seems to track a bit when theres grooves in the road.
I'll snap some pics tonight to show you guys how flush it is sitting atm.

Im currently running 275/30/19s in the rear with ghostriders camber kit, 15mm hubadapters and rolled fenders. my offset is 35. You will def need to roll your fenders and throw on your spacers/hub adapter to avoid rubbing against your struts/liner. Tires are Hankooks v12s.
I've done alot of DIY work on my fenders just to make them fit properly.

Looks great fly. I should have trusted you and went with the 275's even with all saying don't do it. That's FAT!
