Default 265/30-19 fitment question

Has anyone got a 265/30-19 on the front successfully w/o rubbing? I currently have a 19x9 53mm offset front rim and have been debating on going up to this size for my next tire set. The car is stock aligned and not lowered at present, but soon to be changed to 'race' spec alignment. I know the cargraphic RSC 4.0 has this size on the front with a 9.5 inch wide rim. However, they have altered the bodywork.

- i just wrote a huge response to this (with lots of meassurements) but i somehow lost it all just as it was posting
- summary (you will need a slight fender role) and close to -3 camber

Thanks Paul. Looks like too much effort to make it work.

- and you will have to run the firm damper setting for highload second gear corners
- when you have the front fenders rolled, you will also have to have the fender liners worked a little
- the fender roll / liner work is not really that big of a deal - just get someone who has done it before

perhaps a compromise would be to go to the 245/35-19, although I dont know what if any issues there might be in mixing N0 on the rears and BMW on the fronts ...
