Zero rubbing all around, full car test (yes, I even had pops sit in the rear - the side that I thought would have the biggest problem).
I've already got work done to my fenders, but if I never had work done, I'm 90% sure it wouldn't rub either.
It's probably the 265s though, and the tire brand.

Are your fenders rolled from factory like a lot of the 2004.5+ models (SS and AMG)?

stands for 8 series wheel, 19", 31 offset, 6.5" inner barrel, 3.0" outer barrel
not sure, but i think fenders are rolled. i looked under there and its not a "L", its a "V".
i'm going to roll it more anyways.
hope the 255 tire will fix the problem..i really hate rubbing!

The 255's should cure it. Is the rubbing heavy or slight? If it's rubbing on the inside liner, it should be alright, but if it's rubbing on the fender, that's obviously something that could be loud, annoying and cut into your tires.
Well, hopefully it'll get resolved. Sorry to hear the issues. If I think of anything else I'll post it up.

based on your pic, are those wheels from the W209 CLK500 or 55? because those 19x9.5 looks like they are just flush with the fender. If the HRE made them correctly they should go in slightly more.

Actually, bro, your car much like a lot of the 2004.5-Present Sport Sedans are already factory rolled in the rear. That wasn't common knowledge until sometime in late 2005. They're not rolled as much as they can be, but they are factory rolled.

I always say "if your ain't rubbing you ain't low enough"
Just get the fenders trimmed/rolled. Fender modification is a must if you want that perfect stance.
I think this should be taken to the "Official Aftermarket Wheel thread"

you should paint/powder coat the spokes of your rims a medium grey and leave the lip and bolts silver... i think it would look really good on your car and would save you the trouble of getting new rims.
