Default Can Anyone help with Tire Fitment?

I have started to look for new tires, but have some fitment questions regarding the rear tires.

My current set up is as follows:
'99 C2 - NB
lowered (H&R)
19" Champion RG5 rims (11" width with 68 offset)
14mm H&R spacers
rims are flush with outside of fender
Toyo T1R 285/30/19

I have two options..... stick with 285/30/19's or try and get 295/30/19 to fit.

Does anyone know if the 295's will fit with my current set up without rubbing or having to roll the fenders?

If I can get 295's I am looking at the Michelin Pilot Super Sport's.
If I have to stay with 285's, I am looking at the Hankook V12's.

Anything else I should be considering?

Thanks

Can't see why the 295 won't fit. It'll depend on the offset of the rims.

I would call tire rack they will know. My gut tells me the 295s wont fit on a narrow body car.

GT3 is a narrow body and 295 aren't a problem there. Again, wheel offset makes all the difference.

19" makes it easier to fit wider tires too. 11" rears are perfect for 295/305 Not sure the 305 will fit though.

Call sports car boutique. They'd know too.
