The fronts will be your limitation, Could probably go 265 all around but even at +45 you'll be really close since the front fender edge isn't rolled flat like the rear lip. Should be OK except under hard compression.

could i get some fitment advice please?

my current setup is
F: 19x9 +47 255/40/19
R: 19x10 +30 285/35/19

i have the opportunity i secure another set of the rears (with square setup in mind). essentially, im asking if running 19x10 +30 in the front would cause any serious rubbing issues. my goal is to run 19x10 +30 255/40/19 all around.

the reason, i ask is because i rub in the back a bit when there are 3+ people in the car. most of the bumper tab has been shaven off as well. then again, it may be because im running 285s i'm only dropped, on coils, a tad bit lower than eibachs (for reference i believe somewhere around -1.4front -1r).

Just use your current front tire as the reference, you'll be 17mm out from where you are now w/ just the offset. You have another 1/2" (12mm) for the wider wheel, so that's 29mm total that your setup will be closer to the fender. Keep in mind the front fender doesn't have the flat roll that the rear does so there's more area for contact up there. It's going to be a tough fit I think.

thanks, exactly what i calculated

my front setup is really tucked in. i have a 10mil spacer and think i could make do at a maximum of 20mm let alone extending it an extra 29.7mm.
i was just hoping that someone could say 'no, jujubii! i run that setup perfectly fine' haha

Look great! 305 would give it a nice aggressive look! Might want to consider a 255 or maybe a 265 on the front to offset the 305. Don't want skinnies and fatties. LOL
