12mm Spacer with 305 width rear tire - question

I've had 12mm spacers (front and back) for a while now and have recently installed 305 width PZeros in the back. The rear tires rub a bit on bumps now. The fronts are stock 265 PSS so no issues there.

What is the largest spacer size I can use now in the rear and avoid rubbing?

Would it be safe to remove the rear spacers and keep the fronts ?

305s are too much for a 10 inch wheel. I'd go back to a 295, PSS even.

When you say "too much" is it a life-safety issue that I should be concerned with ?

By the way, only reason I bought 305 PZero is because PSS isn't available in my market currently.

I don't have these issues..I'm unclear..I have no spacers at the rear and I'm running 305s on a 10" rim..

Put my car up on a lift to check the space issue...to me there is still 2" space..

Thanks for giving me peace of mind...the 305s definitely grip more and I love MDM mode now...virtually no power cuts in 3rd gear under full throttle in a straight line

Excellent.. Back doesnt kick out as much with traction control off..can get the power down a lot more aggressively.
