If you end up on coilovers with a +55 offset in a 10" rear w a 275/30/19 you WILL clear. Not sure if you know but most coilovers are adjustable and dont drop super low, I like them personally. You would clear jsut fine w sports as well in that offset, just be careful with tire brands. If your going with a fat running tire maybe 265 is way to go to be safe. Falkens or sumitomos, or nittos will clear, they run skinny. match a 235/35/19 to the 8.5 front and you will barely have any stretch, just a nice tapered sidewall, thats what im running right now same rim size and tires in falken 452s, Im liking these falkens right now for a great midrange tire, excellent wet and dry grip, decent sidewall stiffness. I had lots of rim shops and manufacturers tell me u cant fit this and that and I just test fit for real instead and most times if you know what ur talking about it fits. I have the luxury of my own work shop tho so its a lil easier to take chances on my end

What you guys think? Maxed out on my H&R coilovers.
F: 18x8 +38
R: 18x9 +38
Still deciding on tire size but I'm thinking of something like 215/35 up front and 235/35 or 30 in the rear. Maybe I'll stick to 245 in the rear, but from what I've read here I would clear the fender but might rub on the inner plastic of the wheel well.

C350 4matic Obsidian Black
Hi guys... I was wondering if members can give me some opinion... would a 19x9 ET38 up front with a 235/35/19 Conti DW work? On the rear, if I was to get a 19x10 with tire size 265/30/19 also conti dw, what offsets should my rear be? I will be putting on H&R sports springs.. Appreciate, your response guys.

C350 4matic Obsidian Black
New specs
Hi everyone. LOVE this thread about w204 offsets. Keep it coming.
Please ignore my previous post due to wrong specs info. Right now Im pretty sure I have the right one. The specs are:
Front 19x8.5 ET +36 RIMS 7.0" Inner w/1.5" Outer 235/35/19 Conti DW
Rear 19x9.5 ET +38 RIMS 7.0" Inner w/2.5" Outer 265/30/19 Conti DW
I already have a set of H&R Sports Springs (not SS) for 4matic.
My question are, will this setup fit on my car? What do you guys think? Will it rub? Do you think I need to roll my fender? Thank you so much

Those will definitely rub, they will rub w stock ride height so ur no good especially with sports. Ur prob ok w +38 up front, but not w contis, u gotta go narrow tire 225/35/19 to be safe and out back u need +45 to clear w 255/30/19. thats a guarantee clear w sports, I ran that and just made it, 265 rubbed on mine

ur gonna rub out back loonie for sure if you drop lower than sports ride height, front your OK, out back u need a +40 or higher, w a 9" rear, and go 30 for sure out back, 35 up front

if you go skinny tire it might clear inside. U will clear the lip I beleive, but u will rub a little inside fabric on bottom outs. On my 08 I could never drive w passengers in back cause it would rub on larger bumps, but I never really do so didnt matter to me. If you do the size and offsets u posted, you could do 215/35 up front and 245/30 out back and be ok IF ITS A SKINNY tire, basically a tire without a bead protector on it. Ive recommended falken 452's and sumitomo HTRZ3's cause I have wheels w both and they run skinny and very good tires, the falkens a little pricier but great wet/dry performance

I think even with coils on the lowest setting you dont get the "slammed" look, from what I can remember mike "azn" posted pics of his car on the lowest setting with his h&r's
