Largest tire Size on WORK T1's

Hey guys, hopefully you can help me out with a fitment question. What's the largest size tire I can run on a 19x11 + 10 Varianza T1? I'm prepared to negative camber, but don't want to have too much. The car isn't slammed and I don't plan on slamming it. I'm running a custom 14/12 set of BC coilovers and the rear is always kept at full stiff. The rims were originally ordered with the idea of running stretch tires, but my desire for FI has done away with the stretch tire idea. How aggresive could I go with the rears, while still keeping a lower than OEM stance (I don't plan dumping the car). If worse comes to worse, I'll have to sell the T1's, but considering they've been on order for almost three months now, I'd rather not. Thanks for the help.

You will be fine, many others have more aggressive T1s

Yeah, I know that. Would I be able to get away with a 295 or 305?

You can fit a 295 or 305 on there. It would be pretty beefy. You shouldn't have any rubbing issues because you are planning on keeping an OEM stance.

It would be slightly lower than OEM, but nothing ridiculous. The roads here are absolutely terrible, so it's tough to go very low. My k2 and Impuls are going to hang lower than OEM, so I'm planning to raise the car a bit anyways. Most of the people who are running 305's are on 10.5's with higher offsets. I'm assuming this setup is going to look really wide from behind?

I actually picked up a set of Nitto Invo's a few weeks ago for next to nothing. They had less than 100 miles on them, but I managed to get them for an absolute steal on Ebay.

a 295 or 305 should fit fine if you stance is where you say it is. I have a 305/30/19 on 19x11+23 with camber and they sit really nice. If I didnt have so much camber they would actually be flush, but gotta go with performance first I suppose.

i have 11" +24 with 305 and can only get -1.5* camber with rolled flat and pulled fenders with a mild drop (~3.5" from OEM sideskirts to the ground)

You will poke ALOT with proper camber settings. a 285 or 295 will fit much better and probably have better traction as you will have a flatter camber

What kind of camber settings do you think I'd have to run with the 305's to make them work? Also, did you notice feel a noticeable difference in grip/handling when you moved from OEM sizes to fat tires?
