Fitting 19's on a C 230 K coupe, 19 by 9 WIDE
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33745
Those are 19 inch Giovanna Essen rims. Is there any chance they would fit my car? The tire size is 235/35/19 Falken.
I think the offset will provide a problem tho, 35 i think is the offset.
IS 9 inch way to big for the front?
I really like those rims!

Ive done business with the seller before, and tommrow I am going to test fit one to see for sure.
But do you think 9 inch wide all around will compromise my handleing?

Tried them on the front wheel today.
It fits PERFECT. No rubbing at ALL, but there is still quite a fender gap
. I guess I will have to lower after all.
Is 235/35/19 safe on the 9 inch wide rim?
Otherwise, im gunna be getting these probably by this weekend. The rim sticks out a bit but htere is no rubbing AT ALL.

Your car wasn't lowered when you had the wheels on right??...if you lower your car it may rub the fender.
Personally I think 235/35/19 is a little bit too skinny for 9”, and I think 9” is a tad too wide for your front. Just my 02 cents.
Good luck

Belive it or not, the 9 inch on the front is just barely sitcking out. It looks perfect. But do I run into any safety issue with having a tire like 235 on a 9 inch wheel? Im not sure if this is unsafe because the tire can roll off the rim?
Help me out!
Otherwise I got them for a steal price!
When I lower I bet it will rub, everything clears now tho

A 235 tire sounds way too narrow for a 9" rim. I think the C7 wheels are 7.5" and they have 225 tires. So I would think that a 235 would be good for an 8" wheel. It sounds like it may be unsafe, especially if you can't get the bead to hold because the tire is too narrow.
