Whats the biggest rear tire we can run without rubbing? 275?? 285???

Or if it does rub...where does it rub?? Inside or outside??

I have 19x10" HREs on it...I was thinking a 285x30 but wasn't sure.

You can go 285s on 10 inch wide wheels. 295 rubs either on the inside or outside depending on offset.

I just ordered 285/35-18 for the stock rear rims. Visual inspection indicates ample room for these tires. So, I'm not expecting any problems. I'll post a follow up at the end of the week when the tires arrive.

19 x 10 inch + 285 = no problem
19 x 10 inch + 295/30 = Inside rub and "wiggle" with 47 mm offset CCW SP500 wheels.

I am switching to 285 Bridgestone RE050 shortly, no rub, no wiggle guaranteed.
