Widest Tire Size For Titan Ts5 Wheels Without Rubbing

So unfortunately, after getting an alignment for max camber I am still getting rubbing on the outside of the rear fender and front bumper as discussed in an old thread of mine.

I have stock suspension with PS4S tires on Titan T-S5 rims 19x9.5 +22 275/30s front and 19x10.5 +25 305/30s rear. I am thinking about going to a 265/30-19 front and a 295/30-19 rear to solve the rubbing but im not sure if downsizing by 10mm in the front and rear would be enough. Im wondering if I will have to go down to a 255/35-19 front and a 285/30-19 rear.

For anyone running on stock suspension with these wheels or wheels of the same diameter, width, and offset what do you get away with? Id love to hear what others can fit without rubbing so I can make an informed decision and get some rubber on my car that works. This last set of tires really bummed me out with the rubbing and now I just want something that works that I dont have to worry about.

Thanks!

I have a somewhat similar set up with Titan T-S5, only rubbing I have is in the front. Rear is perfect now, but I have rubbed through the rear bumper nub so that is probably why. I was planning on 19x10.5et25 rear with 305s, so now I am a bit worried.

Front
18x10et25
275/35/18 Sumitomo garbage tires
12mm spacer
-2.5 degree of camber

Rear
18x10.5et25
295/35/18 Michelin PSS
-2 degree of camber

Id steer clear of the 305s with the 19s and 25ET. Take from my experience with PS4s that it rubs. -1.9 deg of camber in the rear but they don't rub on the top, they rub on the 10 and 2 o'clock positions of the wheel arch.

Looking for more input from others with 19in wheels with same offset. I want to order tires as soon as possible.

I know for a fact that 19X10.5 ET22 with 295/30 PS4S rubs on 10 and 2 in the rear (with -2 degrees of camber). The Michelin's have a really wide section width in this size. I am not 100% convinced the 3mm of extra clearance you have will make a difference, but it may.

The above is on a lowered car.

got it, no 305 PS4S...

I did trim the nub at 2. At 10, I'd have to take a look at what's there.

Great input thanks. When you say it rubs are you talking about the actual painted metal fender or the fender liners?

Just to clarify when I say it rubs at 2 and 10 I am talking about rubbing on the painted metal fender. Of course this also translates to the nub on the fender liner but it's good to note that trimming of the fender liner nub will NOT allow the 305s to fit without rubbing on the actual fender (unless you pull the fenders or trim them but if you do that you have some serious ballz, ballz which I don't have)
