No problems 305/30/19 Michelin PS2, with only the slightest rub on the inner tub but ducts are fine.

Brake Ducts
I had to remove the brake ducts for my 305-30-19 Bridgestone Potenza RE050 As, they tend to run a bit wider than the other 305 tires. I recently put CCW SP500s on my car, 19x11.5 in the rear with 325-30-19s Goodyears. Needless to say, I decided to take a chance and replace them with the Nitto Invo 345-30-19s. Discount Tire and a few other forum members told me they were about the same width and height.
Let me say, I couldnt be happier with them, they look great and hook well! And suprisingly, they dont stick out that much, maybe a 1/4" to a 1/2" at the most!
