19x8.5

Does anyone have pictures of a c class with none staggered 19' wheels. I want to be able to rotate all the tires. In all reality this is a fairly new concept, right?? Does anyone see any real problem with not throwing 19x9.5 on the back?

it rides sweet, on both freeway and city driving, just be damn careful with speed bumps and watch out everywhere for potholes. i have it lowered an inch and a half on the front and back which helps a lot with ride quality. i also just added the Carlsson back skirt and the quad pipe exhaust system. im picking her up on Tuesday, (if she's FINALLY done then....) and will have new pics up asap.

Are those chrome Zauber Gettins? 19x8.5 all the way around? Do you have any other pics of the rims? Different angles and what not. What am I looking at paying?

I have the stock wheels on my C240, but am interested in a smoother quieter ride. I've never heard of filling your tires with nitrogen, though. Would that help with the ride quality even with 16" wheels? If so, where can i get that done, and how mush will it cost me? If its cheap I might try it just to see the difference.
