yes it will clear at any height. 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 if you want a tiny bit of stretch. If you want straight sidewalls 245/275

Will they look flush? And I drive 2-3k miles a month, will stretching the tires be good?

parakalo bro

If you do that much driving you gotta ask urself something.......do I wanna buy tires every 6-9 months? Thats the reality my friend. U will get 20k-25k out of a set of 19s, you can prob go 25k but they will have no performance after 20k. If your hell bent on staggered this is the way it is, you cannot rotate them. If you go 8.5 all around u could run a small 3-5mm spacer out back to give u the look and still rotate them. It wont be as fat a tire when ur right behind the car lookin at the back end, but you will be able to rotate and get 30k+ out of a good brand. I used to drive alot and didnt care and just went all out, it only hurt when having to buy tires LOL, but I had hookups on tires and installs. The rears go faster than fronts, u can at least split it up and do them seperate so its not an all 4 wallet killer. Good luck let me know if you need any help

I always had Staggered set up on most of my cars. On my old C43 I would go thru a set for the rears every 12-14 months. on the C63, had to replace the rears after 6K miles. And my C300 has staggered factory wheels now, so I think I'll put staggered but I'll go with 18's, I decided to go back to school, so I can't afford to go wild on my cars like I did before. Thank you for your advice f again file
