The size of rims that you've gone with can never give you a ride comparable to stock! You need to compromise on that as the sidewall size of the tire has been cut down to 30 as compared to the stock sidewall size of 45/50 depending upon the size of your stock rims. I hope this helps

The cushioning effect of the tires decrease with decrease in sidewall size!

Good luck with that...

Just to compare, I'm using the OEM size off mine:
225 45 17 = 24.97"
235 40 19 = 26.40"
increase: 1.47" height
increase: 10mm width
decrease: profile

245 40 17 = 24.72"
255 35 19 = 26.03"
increase: 1.31" height
increase: 10mm width
decrease: profile

For the rears you might need to go a little further like 265/35 as the the rim width you will be using is 9.5". Personally, i would go in for an 18" diameter because driving with 19" on Indian roads is a torture. Having said that, i would like to tell that my tire configuration is going to be the same as 235/40/R18x8 for the front and 265/35/R18x9 for the rear. You might also want to try 275/35 for the rear but i think that would rub the inside of the fender. For such wide tread widths you either need to increase the arc width of the fender or add spacers! The latter is NOT RECOMMENDED!

If you're talking about the OEM s550 rims I doubt that would fit.

It really depends on the tire you picked and how low are you going later on if you are going to drop it.

I have the wheels in 235/35/19 for fronts and 265/30/19 in the back. The tires are Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas and it will cut very close to rubbing in the rears if I installed SuperSports. Not entirely sure about the other springs that are not as aggressive. I've seen a few others running 255/35's in the rear and it might help even if it is a bit taller because they will be stretched.
