Hits the front while it's up in the air? My 285/35/18 on stock wheels hit the front corner until I drop the car back down.

The tire may rub while the car is jacked up but it won't when you put it on the ground. I have the same size 285/335 19/20 combo.

Your 30 aspect ratio on the 19" wheel is the same size as the 35 on an 18" wheel. In fact, some brands even have the 285/30/19 as .1" smaller than the 285/35/18. Pretty sure you're fine.

What wide body did conversion did you go with? I've been looking to do mine but there's seems to be a few companies that offer repo 1/4s and fenders
