What is the widest FRONT wheel/tire combo that has worked without rub?

[ChipHead]

I have a 2016 EB with the Performance Pack (255/40/19s - 9"rim - 45mm offset). My goal is to lower it with an Eibach Pro kit ( 1.1" front & 1" rear) and put the widest tire on the front that I can while also bringing the tire roughly flush with the fender.

If I were to mount 285/35/19s on a 10" rim with the factory offset (45mm) it would push the rim 1/2"(12.7mm) out on both sides which looks like it would be just about right for the fender.
Is there anyone out there who's successfully done that or wider on the front without a rub? It seems that @MELLOWYELLOW06 has gone even larger (which I am happy to do) I'm just looking to find out how far into the wheel well I can go without modifications to the suspension (lowering excepted) and how close to the fender (without damage or flares) I can go.

@MELLOWYELLOW06 has put 305/35/19s on the front

{the original post}

{...and the promised pics}

but there's no mention of wheel width (should be 10, 10.5 or 11"), offset (guessing 32-58mm) and I also don't know if there is any lowering done(can't tell for sure but there doesn't appear to be).

If I keep the diameter of the tire almost the same (no more that an inch bigger than stock) does anyone know how far inside I can go before rub?
Quite a few posts on this subject (for some strange reason) don't include the wheel width or the offset so it's hard to know exactly what works.

I wish I had the disposable income for trial & error it but I do not....

Thanks In Advance

You need a +40 offset, +45 and you'll rub. You can go 10" with +40 offset and 285's no problem, I do. You can MAYBE squeeze a 295 but it would be pretty close. I know people have done 305's with some custom fitment and offsets, check out Vorshlag.

Thanks for the info @Budwise! Is your car also lowered by an inch?

No, stock height.

I currently have 305/30/19's squared with 11's all around. Cannot give you specifics but hit up my buddy pawl at pk auto designs in california he will help you out like he did with me!
