Guys,

I’m looking to get a set of staggered 19's for a '08 4Matic, 19x8.5 upfront and 19x9.5 in back. Initially I was gonna get ET45 for both front andback as that appears to be the most common however after doing some research Ithink I may do ET35 up front and ET45 in back.

I think going with ET35 up front may actually be more flush than ET45? I would do tire sizes of 225/35/19 up front and 245/30/19 in back.

Please let me know your thoughts on this.

Thank you

 

You're gonna poke and potentially rub. Stock height or dropped?

 

Stock but might lower it sometime in the future. I understand with an ET35 it would definitely poke in the back but I think in the front it would be flush?

 

it will poke thats to aggressive

I'm still worried about 19's on the 4matics
45et
54et
the amg multi spoke I'm scared to put them on as i hear the 4matic system is not meant for 19's

 

Why? Isn't the OD of the wheels maintained if you go from say a 245-40 series on an 18 to a 245-35 series on a 19 and shouldn't affect it. Or are you speaking of the staggering?

 

i was told not to attempt it with the 4matic as the system is "sensitive" also the offset 35 is to aggressive it will poke out

i have 45 front 54 rear they are as flush as you can get with out poke

plus in the mb manual it says oversized 18" i know a lot of people do put 19's but I'm always scared about something going wrong as i want to keep this car for 10+ years.
