Max Tire Width on 19" wheels

Hi, I have 19" x 9.5" SSR GT3 wheels on the rear of my 2004 CLK 55 with 265/30 YR19 Pirelli Nero Zero tires. They have 18K miles and will last about another 2K to 4K miles (some spirited driving). Has any one tried 275/30 YR19 on a 19" x 9.5" wheel. This should provide more traction less wear. Or is this too wide and will rubbing occur. The wheels came with 5mm spacers. The fronts look like they will last at another 20K miles.

Does anyone have 275/30 YR 19" tires on a W209 CLK? Any problems with rubbing? I have also have the Brabus Lowered Suspension that dropped the car about 1".
