Sure you can. but just dont put tire size 265 on rear, it will rub your fender. I got mine 19 x 8.5 with 235 tires for front and 19 x 9.5 with 255 tires for rear. looks really good.

s-kalsse.... But is that for your s-class or c-class?
if its a c-class, is it a c240? just worried that if yours a c320, the wheel arches might be different from a c240. And did you roll your fenders. The dealers told me you cant put 19" on it unless you roll the fenders. Im thinking of putting the brabus monoblock V 19x8.5 235 all around.

no fender rolling is neccesary if you have the right offset.

235 for the back maybe too skinny and won't look good. 255 is the way to go, or if you want 265/30, use Falken tyre, they are really thin on the outer edge, won't rub the fender

looks i am in the right forum to ask my question...lots of crazy lunatic owners with 19" on their c-class here.
What would the right offsets be, know the exact figures?
if the brabus monoblock V 18" do not require any spacers, means its the right offset? so i can just get the 19" with that same offset, as in not having to require any spacers.

if you want to play safe i suggest 32 and above offset, my rear wheels is 9 width and 24, rub pretty bad, the front is 8 and 37, perfect fit even the bolt doesn't require to be change.

235 rear is more than enough to put down 177 lb/ft of torque. Although wider tire gives you more stability, but it also means more friction against the road, which means the use of more gasline. IMO 265/30 is way overkill, unless your MAIN purpose is for show only.

mine is C320, I am sure that 240 can too. I saw a c240 with lowenhart 19". don't get it too wide. I didn't roll my fender. the tire 255 are just fine. I'll post pic soon. I got Carlsson 2/6 19 by 9.5 for rear and 19 by 8.5 front. Lowenhart LD1 in 19 by 9.5 are real good (DEEP) and they are not expensive. wheelexpert quoted me a very reasonable price.

Heres my car with Lowenhart 265/30 down the back, Regarding the deepness, that depends on the width and offset mine is 9 inch width with 24 offset. My lip is 3.5 inches deep

I went to D2 to lower my car once then they put their sticker on my car. But it look quite nice though. Try call them and ask for their sticker or just buy some parts from them and ask them to include the sticker on the package.

Where did they put the sticker at? If they put it anywhere other than the windows I'd be pissed!
