19" tire fitment question

I've seen 235 35 19 for the front tire....I've even seen 225 35 19..... I got some tire prices out here in new York...and I got a great deal...but he only has 245 35 19 for the front tires...now I don't plan on dropping the car but I need to know if this will fit w/out rubbing or conflicting with suspension...

It really depends on the width of the wheel and the offset.

Please understand, for many of us, any 19" is the wrong tire (heavier unsprung weight, slower to accelerate, longer to brake, worse fuel economy, worse ride quality, etc,., but some like the appearance better....I guess ). We read the threads, but have nothing to offer which can help. A few folks have gone into 19 or 20, so you need for one of them to come across your posts. 17" and 18" OE sizes are the majority.

I hear that....but c class comes stock with 17/18.... so 19 shouldn't be much of an upgrade to feel that much of a diff....besides, and I'm sure most people agree....some of the nicest cars here are wearing 19 or 20s....hotel, azn, etc....

The picture posted doesn't say much. I'm sure there are more than 1 company that makes AMG replica. So just from the picture we can't really tell what width is so we can't recommend a tire. You're going to have to help us out with more info so we can help you.

245 is going to bulge a little on 8.5". Need the offset to see if it would fit but replicas are not aggressive so I would say they will. 235 match well to a rear 265, I run 225 up front wich looks a little stretched compared to the 265 rear.

But my rear is 9.5 .....so it shouldn't stretch more than the rear...I just wanna make sure I won't rub on my strut/coils/fenders....do u think I should look into 225 for the front instead?

Never used AMG replica wheels before, but generally 35+ offset is too small of an offset for aftermarket wheels on our cars.

I'm on 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 and have it dropped with no issues. I think you should be fine.

Replica means a copy of something, usually a rather poor copy at that. This wheel does not look like any AMG wheel I've ever seen.

~ a 50 mm offset on a 9.5 would be the correct fit for rear wheel of the c coupe.

I have 245 up front on my 19s. 8.5 width, 47 offset. It looks alright, just a tad big but ill wait to get 235 once these tires are worn out. Personally, i would go with the 235s for looks, 245 for better ride.. Just my opinion. GL.
