19" wheels owners - quick question

Hi everyone, just a quick question Ive been look and searching at the forum for days but couldn't find the answer so thought it'll be quicker to ask.

1) Are the sedans and coupes the same in terms of chassis?

Friend of a friend has a w204 sedan and has:
225/35/19 8.5 et 40 front
265/30/19 9.5 et 42 back

​​​​​​I have the coupe and looking to pick these up.

2) Just wondering if they will fit with no rubs (I researched et over 40 is good no need for spacers and longer bolts is this correct?) He says stock wheel bolts work.

Any help is appreciated thanks!

I too have the coupe and run:

-245/35/19x8.5 45+ front
-275/30/19x10 52+ rear
(lowered on bilstein b14 coils)

With these specs, I have no rubbing or any issues with fitment, so you should be perfectly fine with your setup!

I like this site for calculations. Plug in the numbers, compare OEM to other size options. Gives summary at bottom if there are any potential problems.

If you are talking about Lug Bolts, No, I bought aftermarket hardened steel "cone seat" lug bolts.

Best of luck,
