you can probably get away with a little bit, but its going to be close enough that it is going to depend on how much camber you run and what brand/model of tire.

I ran 19x9.5F +20 on 275/30/19 with no problem (not your exact wheel size I know). First I did this with H&R sport springs and then with KWv3 coilovers. No rubbing in either case.

Zero issues. You're forgetting that when you lower it, the geometry changes to camber in a little bit more as well, giving you the clearance needed.

You're fine. I'm running the same size on a 19x10 +15/f +10/r and it doesn't even rub. Front or back.

I'm lowered, but not slammed.

19x10 +20 F14 with 275/30/19 on Eibach springs is a very common setup that shouldn't rub. Check out the mod bargains F14 page and you'll find plenty of pics.
