Official~Best offsets for running FAT tires!
Quick questions,
Running Avant Garde M310 19x9.5 40 offset on the rear. Will a 295/30/19 fit without rubbing? on kwv3's right now but possibly back to stock in a week (trying to trade the car in, my tires are pretty much dead and can get these for free,, may need to drive on them for a while though so don't want any issues)

Since you can get the tires for free at least you won't be out financially if you have issues. There's a lot of folks on the web that have done 295s on a 9.5, but the main issue would be the 30 series sidewalls, your diameter will be almost 3/4" smaller for about 3% difference in diameter. With a 35 series your diameter would be much closer and w/ the slightly taller sidewall it would be a bit easier mount for a narrower than recommended rim. It can be done, but there are better options, except they won't be free

FYI: these Michelins are wider than the Hankooks by about 10cm, and not only did I have to completely trim away the fender bracket in the rear, but I also had to cut/file down the trailing arm, and replace the trailing arm bolt with a bolt that has a shorter head on it, and still had to shave down the head of the bolt. You can barely make it out in this pic

this pic shows how much the Michelin 305's stick out past the 10.5 rims

but it sure does fill that wheel well.

Thanks blnewt.
I found Stance SC-6ix 19x9.5 +40 for a good deal.
What size tire should I run if I'm on Swift springs with a square setup? I have a 2013 Sport sedan, and love as much concave as I can get.
I wish Vossen had 19x9.5 +40s

Here's an example of a couple 19x9.5 +40 that have decent concave, you could order 4 of them and run 255s on them for just a slight stretch
