Default 245/35---375/30 tires

Anyone here running 275/30/19 tires on their IS?

I have RSR-downs with velgen VMB5.
19x9
19x10.5

im wondering if I run 275s will I have issues of rubbing? im currently running 265/30 and I feel its a little stretched. it looks like I have room for a bigger tire, but im not sure.

thanks

This IS is running a 275/30/19 on RSR-downs. The problem is when you load people in your car it will rub.

It's stretching just a tad, honestly I wouldn't worry about it too much.
I'm running the exact same setup (except 9.5" width in the back) on 265/30 and there's enough play in the well that Im not worried about any rubbing AT ALL.

you don't have issues since you have a 9.5 wheel in the rear. im running a 10.5, I might just roll my fenders a little that way if I do take a corner really quick it doesn't hit.

Lol.,.. why would you buy wheels to roll the fenders later?
No issues with my 9.5" wheels thanks to research.

I don't have any issues of rubbing! didn't pull or roll anything, was just curious if I could fit a 275 before I had to roll anything
