HELP! Stretching!

I have 19x10.5" M3 offset Luffs in the rear. Right now, my rear only rubs when I have passengers in the back with my 275/30/19. Is it possible to stretch 245's on those wheels? Worse comes to worse, I have to buy thinner wheels. Please let me know if you know anything. Thanks.

255 is the smallest you can go on a 10.5 wide wheel

I am not sure what the M3 offset is, but it was challening to get my Luff 20*10.5 to work on my car. Ultimately we did the 32mm offset with 275/25/20and a minor fender roll... It works perfect.

Just put a 255 on it and roll fenders . Why would you get a 10.5 thats nuts, you are going to rub either way. Cut fenders and remove the clip in the back rear fender and dont camber. That should work.

i've had these 10.5's for almost a year now, and it's been working out fine on stock sport suspension. it's just too late and too expensive for me to get new wheels. now that i wanna lower my car, i'm getting kinda concerned. but if 255's will work with rolled fenders, then that is what i'm going to do.
