Question Fitting 19 inch wheels w203 2001

Hello guys I am new here and I need your help. I want to fit 19 inch wheels to my Mercedes Benz w203 4door sedan C200 Kompressor model 2001 and I need some information. I am thinking about Mercedes genuine rims and tyres size 265 30 19 rear and 235 35 19 front. What should i check before buying? Is there any issue with fenders? My suspension is stock. Should I choose specific ET or there is no problem? Thank you in advance.

I just bought the car last week and have only driven it on a test drive, to the mechanic one block away and same to the smog shop. Car is sitting in my shop for the stock wheels.
I'm not sure if there are any spacers behind them? Soon as the stock wheels show up, these will be taken off and I will have this info and more.
Are you in SoCal?

Ok soon as I get these wheels off I will report back with all the right info.
Wheels sit and look perfect on the car, it's just that I don't know what's behind them. Few more days.

Mr Shant, mind sharing your strategy of searching for stock wheels? I haven't had much luck in that regard... Thanks!

Click the link below. I just put in the search bar "Mercedes Wheels or Mercedes Wheels 17" then hit the "Sort By" button to the right to "Date" (that brings the newest posts to the top.) Just go through the pages from there. Good luck!

Ok here is the wheel in for for my 07 c230 sport

Front wheels are 19x8 1/2
Rear wheels are 19x9 1/2
Ok stock wheels came today so I have the offset into
Fronts are et 32 and the rears are et 35


Wheels look great on the car they sit well with no rubbing. Perfect set up for some one that wants to go up in size to 19's. Hope that helps.
