Those wheels aren't mine. It was another reply with pictures of a 275 tire but not on a 2012 wheel though. I emailed about 15 pictures to lowrideraz earlier today of 275 and 295 PSS's mounted on my 2012 with OEM rims. He is posting them for me.

Yep, I got a BUNCH of pics from MansionBLD. I'll post the two I think tell the story. If it were me, I would have gone with the 295/255 combo if there were no rub. There is some tire bulge, but to me it's acceptable.
First Pict - 275.
Second Pict - 295.

So with the 295 rear and 255 fwd .. Will it rub with the 2012 rims or have to roll the fenders ? Cuz I'm due for some new tires soon and 295 get no tire slip inbetween gear shifts ?

I think the tire width is an individual preference thing. I use to have an 2009 with the OEM 9" wide rear rims and even though the 2012 has 9.5" OEM rims, I think a 285 is the best fitting tire in relation to the wheel well and fender on any year.
As to the 295's rubbing on a 2012, I did not drive the car and take any bumps or accelerate to see if it would make contact. But it looked really tight. Maybe lowrideraz can post a different pic that might show how tight it was.

Interesting. What if you put the car on jackstands and brought all four wheels in off the car? That's what I would do - borrow my friend's truck, throw them all in the back, and just tell them its a custom application.

The choices in 285/30/19 are very few...looks like the S-04 is both a bargain, and a decent tire. Most everything else in the category is pretty pricey except the usual inexpensive brands.
