Tire Size Will this work
235/40/19 Front on 19"s
265/35/19 Rear
i'm getting 19's but want the extra cushion from the recommened 235/35/19 and 265/30/19. I have these on the C32 and it rides hard. Although taking stiffer suspension into account. The w204 has bigger wheel wells, and on my c32 it's lower than a regualr w203 and with the 19's there is still a bit of space, I never lowered it, but if I can get away with the extra thickness on the tire for the w204 it will be more asteticly pleasing as well, and I won't need to lower the car. Just worried about rubbing.
Let me know facts or educated opions !

I would use this tire dimension calculator.

It looks like you'll gain about a half an inch of sidewall which shouldn't cause rubbing on the upper fenders. I don't know about clearance on the sides of the tires and the suspension components, but you could measure. Your speedometer will also be off by a little over 2 mph.
