Looking at your personal info it says you drive an E240 so you would get a better answer in the W211 section on this forum.

19x10's are going to be a tight fit.

They will be a tight fit but with a +36 rear offset they should fit with no spacers on a sedan.

I'm going to defer to Frank on this one, 19x10's are just a real close fit on these cars. I'm sure you know this already but this is only for the rears.

A lower offset, 30 or 32 on the rears will push the rim out at least flush with the fender. Better to go with a higher ET on the rear, and 19 x 10's will cause huge issues if tried to fit on the fronts.

You'll need to roll fenders with 265/30 tires. How much rolling will depend on how low you are and tire selection. +35 on 19x10 is easier to fit tho. I'm currently running +33 19x10 265/30/19 Toyo T1r's.

IMO, 19x10 w/ 275's won't fit.

yes it will, not advisable, but it will.... even lowered with +30. BUT you better get it on a rack and set a few degrees of camber. but if you HAVE to make them work, from experience, they will.

Put some spacers on that itch, drop the offset down to 18, and go hellaflush.
