I think I could have fit my 295/30/19 hankooks dropped on Cobbs wrapped on 19x11+33 wheels without rubbing...Tires play a part obviously, but camber and offset is gonna play a big factor too.

My camber is not aggressive at all and my contact patch is very healthy compared to what I have seen others run on narrower but more aggressive offsets.

So what spec wheels do you plan on running? Tell us that and we can probably tell you more.

Can't go any larger on the oe 18x8 wheels other than stock. The wider options require a wider wheel
