E55 Michelins

I've got a 2005 E55 (18" AMG Rims) getting ready for new shoes. I am a Michelin Pilot Sport fan and want the BIGGEST rear tires I can get that won't rub. Prefer AAA rating. But what is the BIGGEST ones that won't rub?

1994 E320 Coupe, 1979 500SLC, 2005 E55 - Sold

Im planning to get some 19's for my E55. Rims are 8.5" front and 9.5" rear. Should I get 245/35/19 and 275/30/19? Or can I do 255/30/19 and 285/30/19?

I'm running the 245/275 PSSs on Brabus Monoblock VIs and the rears rubbed. Even though I had to correct spacers for the wheel/car set-up, I ended up having to remove them to eliminate the rub. Fortunately, I still had clearance for my calipers.
