285/30 is possible, even without rubbing but it depends on width of rear wheel and the offset, but as alpinewhite said, standard fitment is 275/30

Why would you want a 25 series tire? It may look good, but you will; be driving around like Little Ms. Daisy, being careful of every bump, pothole and crack in the road. You'll clench up as you drive upon it and be nervous every time you hear a thud. I would do 35/30 with 19's.

for my front 245-35-19
the rear 285-35-19
peviously i put on 275-30-19 rear (the norm for this forum)...
which was a good start but the rim stick out way too much. it didn't look right.
i went with the 285-30-19r...fitting was about pefect.
to match the 4 tires to same brand, i decided to try 285-35-19r, so far so good--no rubbing issue.
i have always kept my front 245-35-19.
i recently put on the falken fk 452, so far i like them alot!
less road noise than bridgestone potenza s03.
the rear 285-35-19
