Wheel and tire fitment question

Tires are 235/35/19. Offset is 0. Wheel width 9.5. Will this work without any additional mods? My car is at base c240 ride height. Wheel and tire fitment question-image.jpg

0 offset is going to require A LOT of rolling, pulling, and grinding.

You really should be aiming at offsets of approx ET30. With ET30 235 is as wide as you can go up front without touching the strut.

that and 9.5" is going to be tough to get it to fit in the front

+1^ ~ 8.5" ideal for front.

Thanks guys. I was skeptical about the offset when I was told it was 0. Never heard of that before. I looked that up and found that there is a zero offset. I just don't think that that's the offset of the wheels because the seller said, "if I remember it's 0". I haven't seen them in person. I'll see if they can take more pics.

0 is an offset. You can do negative offset to get a lot of lip or super concaved wheels. The backside of the wheel should say the specs

I'm seriously thinking of purchasing a set of wheels for my 04 sport sedan. 19/8.5 et32(front) 19/9.5 et36(rear). Wheels are off a benz so I'm going to assume center bore is 66.6 or 66.56. I will ask. They may or may not be coming with tires so I don't know the tire sizes yet, which will also be a question. I'm wondering how to figure out what size spacers ill need. I can't seem to figure the spacer thing out!! Ugh. I will also be lowering the car in the future but the rims are first. Help me please. Thanks in advance
