2009 C300 can take wider tires ?
I have a wheel shop telling me that the 09 can take wider tires than my 08. That the 09 can fit
Rear 275/30/19 Front 245/35/19
Is this true ?

Yeah...I once had a wheel shop guy tell me that if I over-inflate T rated tires, they will perform the same as H rated tires. 
Be careful. Do your own research. And wheelbase has nothing to do with determining what tire width will work.
I don't know if those sizes will fit, but what an '09 takes, an '08 will take.

Generally the wider the tire, the better the performance. I.E. the car can get more power to the pavement. That was the origin of wider tires especially on higher horsepower cars of course. For those that run wider rear tires on rather sublime models like a C300 it is being done for mostly a cosmetic reason. Most average people won't really ever realize the full potential of a wider tire in the rear of their RWD car. Hope that helps...
