C55 ///AMG, 535xi
19x8.5 front, 235/35/19
19x9.5 rear, 255/35/19 or 265/30/19
btw, I'm gonna try 275/30/19 on my rear, I seriously think it's gonna rub.

I would go with 255/30 in the rear.
my HREs are 19x9.5R ET31, and they rubbed continuously when I ran 265/30's, but it went away when I went with 255/30
ET31 sticks out 4mm more than your ET35, but thats only 1/5"
235's on a 8.5 up front should be fine, until you decide to upgrade to coilovers...then the inner clearance will be a problem.
It also depends on the tire...Toyos and Falkens are skinnier than Goodyear or Michilen.
BTW, what wheels are you getting?

235s with rounded wall (Falkens/toyos )will do the trick with COs and 225s are too risky since your wheels would have less protection especially the lips..

Having a rounded tires would help to lower my fronts a little bit more.
Just thought I mentioned this, so that you can avoid spacers

I am in the socal and I just bought some falken fk452 from DTD. Went to a local shop: they balanced, mounted, installed new valve, disposed the old tires all for 50 bucks. for the price, I would say, they did a good job, handle my oem staggered rims with great care.
the only thing bothers me is they did not use torque wrench..but I could take care of that myself since I could torque the bolts at my garage.

03 Silver E55
Well I just joined this site today, been checking out the last 32 pages for a few hrs and now need help chosing a set of wheels for my C32. I have it narrowed down to 3 sets.
***Wheels removed, I have been advised that product quality with DPE is hit or miss.
I am looking to do 19x8.5 235/35/19 fronts and 19x10 265/30/19 rears, from what I've read in here that should work, right? (I'm on stock suspension)
Also what finishs would guys reccomend for a silver car? I'm thinking silver centre polished lip, black centre polished lip, or all polished.
Thanks In Advance

I have an offer to get a set of wheel and tires for free from a '08 CLS550. I am 99% sure that the tires won't fit -- 275/40/18 rear and 245/45/18 front if I remember correctly. However, the rims are the AMG twin 5-spoke which I really like. My car has 17" factory wheels now. The person I am getting the wheels from hasn't a clue what size they are. She's probably 75 years old and wanted chrome wheels when she got her CLS.
Thanks for any help you can give this newbie.
