Help on tire and wheel sizing

Can anyone help me if these size will fit on the C300?

Tire size:
Front - 245/35/19
Rear - 275/30/19

Rim size:
Front - 19X8.5 et.35
Rear - 19X9.5 et. 33

Sorry for posting a new thread about this.
I've search for rim size and tire size for the c300's but didn't find if these size will work with my car.

Thank you and appreciate for everyone's help.

Yes, ET40 at the minimum, the above ET.s will look horrible on your car.

I recently managed to throw on 19x8.5 +36 with 265 30 in the rear and it clears with no problem on Eibach prokit. But 9.5 with +30 with 275 will not clear because +32 offset rubbed on my rear fender. Hope that helped.

as for the front it will also rub and I had to trim some from fender and bumper.

Why go through all that? why not purchase the correct offsets from the beginning?

IMO protruding wheels are one of the worst styling errors there is.

Yes, and I fully respect that, but it cannot be very nice to have dented fender edges?

But +35 on 18s (225 fr/255 r) poses no rubbing issues right?
That's a majority of the offset I see offered with aftermarket wheels.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not going for the 12"-gold-Daytons-sticking-out-a-foot look, but the stock offsets for my 17s is too far in IMO.

I don't mean to hijck, just piggy back on your thread.

But, what is the widest (19") wheel we can put on our C class (front and rear) and what is the proper offset?

Would a 9" front 10" rear fit?

or are we looking at 8.5 and 9.5 max?

And I agree, all must tuck inside the fender lip.
