I think people will need your offset to answer your question better. I run a 275 30 20 with the lip cut 50%. Im pretty sure you can fit a 305 if your offset is not very aggressive. Ive been debating selling my rims and getting rid of the "flush" look and trying to shove some meat under the rear. I think a 315 is possible if your offset is not aggressive and you roll or cut the fenders.

Hey, another Vancouverite. If your rim is only 19x9 +55 (sounds like S2000 fitment) don't go any wider than 275/30R19. This is the widest anyone should go on a 9" wide rim. Very few places would even try to attempt to put a 305 on a 9" also the side walls would crown SO bad that you would actually LOSE traction and control. If you really have the need to run a 305 you need at least 10.5" wide

Each tire size has a range of what rims will fit. Please have a look and educate yourself

Thanks for the help, Yakuza_GS (btw your GS looks sick man!)

I'm actually going to put on the IS-F wheels;

19x8 in front
19x9 in rear

So 275/30r19 should be good with no mods?
I was hoping a little wider

The stock rear tire size is too narrow IMO!
(so are the rear wheel width! :P )

Yes 275's should fit fine with no mods but IS offsets are really high. I would get a 15-25mm spacer if you don't want it to look sunken

275 on a 9.5" rim is an optimal match. So with a 9" rear that should still be ok. if you really want wider tires get new rims.
