3 options for you.
1. use spacers
2. ditch that set and get another set (see w203 aftermarket wheel thread) https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...rmarket+wheels
3. downgrade to the smaller luxury sedan brakes & rotors

thanks,

jason

Spacer is not that bad. I'm using spacers for the front and it rides fine.

the 2005+ sport sedan brakes are bigger. so you'd need a set of wheels that can clear your brakes, if they only touch up a bit, then a spacer would be good, but if they REALLY dont fit, you need new wheels.

yep, should work, but don't use more than a 255/30/19 in the rear unless you want to do some fender work.

There's a wheel thread that can answer your question. I think 275 may be too wide and may cause some rubbing issues. Here's the link to the wheel thread:

well, i checked out that fitment guide ... it says 19x9.5- 35 offset - 265/30r19

So by my offset being lower 32 vs 35
Will 265/30 fit both offsets with no prob?

Or because the offset is lower, i have to lower to i.e. 255/30?

or maybe the 275/30 will work because my offset is lower?

As you can see i dont know much about wheels/tires so im hoping one of you can help, thanks again for pointing me in the right direction i actually checked out that thread but missed that part.

if offset is lower, wheel is close to fender.

i'd go with a 255/30/19, but if you want a 265 or 275, be my guest.
(just don't blame me when the tire rubs)

fender work would be rolling the fenders and shaving the tab from the rear bumper.
