I run that combo except I run a 275-35x18 in front and a 305-30x19 in back....iForged Equips with Michelin PS2's. No issue. But if you are running an oversized rotor, you might have an issue with the valve stem hitting the brake caliper. Make sure that you check the wheel, dry fit it before the tires get mounted and look at the valve stem clearances.

Trust me - I went through this issue.
