Ok so I can even go with 305 30 20 and still be ok? I thought wheel would be way too tall at this point

Here are pics of my car and fitment as of right now..... I hope you are right as I am ready to replace the rear tires for some more meaty ones

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated it

No you can not fit a 305/30/20. That will be too tall. Your options include 285/30/20, 295/25/20, 305/25/20. I had those same wheels in the past (20x11 et29) and I used 305/25/20 Pirelli pzero Nero with zero rubbing on eibach springs. The Nero seems to run a little narrow but I don't think you will have issues with other brands.

Anyone running rear toe arms? Looking to fit my 19x12 +25 rears with a 295/30 and stay lowwww. Ill be running kw club sport coils so hopefully the linear springs give me more inner clearance.

I don't think toe-arms will help much, if any, with fitment. KW club sports do have linear springs but they are not true coil-over's in the rear. Inner clearance will not be improved with the clubsports in the rear because the spring is located outside of the path of the wheels / tires. Clubsports will however reduce your inner clearance in the front.

Any suggestions,
Currently bbs-ch-r 9" 255/35/19 front, et20 Rear 10.5" 285/30/19" et25
Hankook S1 tires

Looking for proper spacers, I measured that I just might be able to add 12mm spacers front and rear, but any experience? Am I pushing too much? if going to spacers, I really want hubcentric ones, that no vibration issues.

Thanks! Yeah I needed inner clearance, the inner rear fitment was a breeze.

Any ideas on good tire brands?

I think you were planning on 295/30/19. If so I recommend Michelin PSS for street or Yokohama AD08R for street/track. I would pair that with 275/30/19 in the front if you have 9.5" wide + front wheels.
