Rim and Tire advice....

Hey everyone I just got some IForged 3-piece 19's for my 2010 C300, and I need a little help regarding tire fitment. My friend had 235/30-19's in the front and 265/30-19's in the rear. Does this sound like a good size to go with for my 2010 C300 he had the rims on his W203 so not sure if it is the same. The wheels are at the powdercoater right now so I get them back in a week.

235/35/19 in the front and 265/30/19 in the back is what I'm running.

Not for me. Rubbing will depend on your wheel width and offset. Max you should go on width is 9.5" and at least 52 to 54mm to prevent rubbing.

Damn I'm going to have to measure them when I get them back from the powdercoater. I got them from one of my good friends and he wasn't sure what offset they were but I know it's a 9.5" rear. He got them as a promotional gift from the owner of Iforged.

well if the rims were made to fit his w203.. than the offset is to low.. w203's run like a 35-38 offset.. a 9.5" in the rear u wanna be at like 50 on our cars.. soo thats a 1/2" difference.. worst case is slap them on and listen for rubbing..

Great thanks for all of the advice. Now I am freaking out lol what if the offset is way wrong since they were for a w203. Well they'll still fit I hope. I think I am just going to go with 255's to be safe.

im sure the wheels will stick out for 1 to 1.5cm. you might need to check that or just get a new set of wheels or machine cut the offset.
