285 Bridgestone RE050a will rub, so I'd say 275s is the biggest I would do.

i have Invo 285/30/20 and they rub some even with the 2nd lift push in. I guess when I replaced them I will go with 275.

285 is the stock size - correct
Can 19 inch 295's or 305's work on the stock SL 65 rims without rubbing or sticking out too much?
