Some help for 4matic wheels pls
Im gonna get the 19" Forgestar F14 matte black but got a few questions.
1. Rear, should I go for 19x9 or 19x10 ? The wheel store says 10 would be totally fine, but im just worried since 4matic gets complicated when it comes to wheels.
2. Im also gonna put on some super sports and idk if 19x10 on 4matic would cause any problems?? Also do i need spacers ?
Sorry if it has been covered before but I've tried to search and hard to find exact information.
Thank you in advance!
ps. continental DW? Hankook V12? or any good suggestions? i live in miami

I'm 4matic and went 8.5 in front and 9.5 in rears. Depends on how wide you want to go. Don't think it will cause any problems if you go 10 but I can't tell you for sure.
And for tires I have the hankook v12's. Awesome tires and great bang for the buck. You can never go wrong with Hankooks.

Thanks for everyone's input.
Yea Matt, I dont have the exact offset but im pretty sure it will be high 40s low 50s since our cars take such a low range of offset anyways.
I have looked into that C63 as well. That is actually how I want my wheels to look like. Stick out a little more than stock and slight stretch tire.
Well size basically decide how your wheels are gonna look. Im just figuring out the perfect offset, tire size and drop. I have also decided to use the continental DW with H and R super sport. Thinking if I should put in the springs on stock first and wait till the wheels come i can decide on tire size. but thats playing a little too safe lol
Here is a pic of kind what i want.

yes, we know that it comes staggered. but we are talking about adding another 3 inches to the rear axle, and that may or may not result in long term issues.
