Tire/Rim Fitment Question - Help Please!
I have a Sport 2008 Black C300 4MATIC. I have decided to get the concaved Avant Garde M328 wheels w/ a polished gunmetal face and black interior.
Wheels
19X8.5 45MM+ in the Front
19x9.5 50MM+ in the Rear
Tires
Continental Extreme Contact DWS
235-35-19 in the Front
265-30-19 in the Rear
My question is - is this an OK tire size for this wheel/offset combination? If you have any other suggestions for appropriate tires/sizes I would appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance!

I'm running the same wheel sizes with the same exact offsets but my tires are W I D E R and as follows:
Tires: Bridgestone Potenza 960 Pole Position AS
front: 245/35/19s,
rear: 275/30/19s
The Bridgestones curve in from the sidewalls to the tread which helps avoid rubbing issues even if you slam the drop... I just recently lowered on H&R Sport Springs... the drop allows just over a finger of space between the wheel and fender for the fronts but the rears have a bit more space... Still on OEM pads and I intend to change the pads for a more lowered drop! So far no rubbing issues whatsoever!

Thanks for all the help so far guys.
I really would like no rubbing to occur - so I think I am all set on the 235 and 265. I plan on lowering with H&R springs if I looks like I need to close the gap between the tire and the fender.
I have 3 more questions...
1.) For the Continental Extreme Contact Tires - should I get the DW instead of the DWS? I won't be driving with my rims in the snow since I plan on switching to my stock 17" in the winter months on Long Island.
2.) Are there any other tires that you suggest that are around this price range?
3.)What is the cheapest place online to get the tires delivered?

EFX1 - don't you feel like the DW would be better though? It is a tad more expensive, the tire design is nicer, and I won't need the tires for the snowy winter on Long Island.
