kev,

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.

thanks gary, the 40 profile was just a typo

advans

no prob, but 235 on a 9.5 wheel is really stretched, the smallest I would go is 245,

kevblah

crap, that was a freakin typo too...i always go 265 lol

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?

kevblah

the wheels are a secret.
what will i need to run in the front to be able to do coilovers?
what about general exclaim tires?

Ok Guys im going to make this short and sweet.

I have a set of new 19" wheels that i need to mount some tires on. I dont want to just take them to some random spot so im asking you Pros! I want to know if you guys know of any tire shop's in the Dallas area that i can take my New Rims and Tires to have the tires mounted with no damage.. Thanks gus

I have General tires and these tires are awfully boxy!

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..

You should be able to go to any reputable tire shop to have your tires mounted and balanced without any damage.

you'll need a 5 to 7 mm spacer to clear coilovers

Discount tire did mine and they were really gentle. They were babying my rims as they were mounting my tires.

I have the same ET as yours in the fronts and the lowest I can go is one finger gap..

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

Any one knows where I can find more info on this wheels:

Mille miglia T12 in 18", I want to know weights and sizes available

They give that CLK DTM look alike

PS: I cant find any mille miglia website!

Any reputable shop should be fine. The key is communication. I just keep telling them to be very careful.

Benz05

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.

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.

Just take'em for free and sell them if they don't fit???

ChuckinTucson

My thoughts exactly. I was planning on selling the tires as I know they definitely won't fit . . . will see how it goes with the wheels.

Tibi

How do you guys think this wheel will look and a c32.

Beaver's Benz

Nice!
Are they silver, polished or chrome? I can't tell.

Kinda bored of my silver wheels and thinking about taking them black. my car is silver so i wanted to break up the color a little. still on the fence about going matte or gloss, to do the lip too or not. any feedback would be appreciated. thanks in advance.
