Widest/highest profile tires for stock wheels?

[cipher]

When I swap over to all-season tires next winter, I wanted to find out the widest and highest profile tires I can fit on the stock 19x9.5" wheels and stock suspension without rubbing. Anyone know or tried something much bigger with success? For example, could I fit 285x35 or even 285x40 tires on the Type S?

Looking for both more ride comfort and impact resistance to avoid messing up the wheels.

Thanks!

Biggest ve seen someone run was a 275x40x19 and honestly, I kinda hated how it looked. That amount of sidewall on that wheel size did not work at all stylistically with the DE5 imo, but it did function without issue for the owner so you definitely could if you wanted to.

Same question but for the 18 inch rims, if anyone knows?

i fit 275/35 tires on a 18x9.5 wheel (pretty popular sizing from reading the forums). im sure you could go wider but i think it really comes down to how low you go. im on swift springs which is a pretty aggressive drop but the car sits right above the tire by maybe a finger width.

Thanks, I don't think I'll go as wide as you have but nice to know I can.

Thanks. But I love the look of more tire sidewall, as I've never been a fan of super low-profile tires.

Don't get me wrong, the 265/30s on the ITS look good, but thicker sidewalls almost always looks better to me. There is a limit though, as may be 50% or so for most wide size tires (250+) is a bit too much for my tastes too.
