245/35/19 and 275/30/19. Will they fit?
Hi All! I'm trying to get the most sidewall possible without rubbing. 2012 C250, stock height (not lowered). Staggered: 19x8.5 ET42 and 19x9.5 ET45. I know the recommended tire sizes are 235/35/19 and 265/30/19. But I'd like to know if these options are possible without rubbing: FRONT 245/35/19 or 235/40/19. REAR 275/30/19 or 255/35/19. Any help would be appreciated!!

Why do you want more sidewall? Bad road conditions? Increasing the tire ratio will make your speedometer inaccurate and I am not sure what affect that may have on other electronics. Does it confuse the TCM when the wheel speed doesn't match the engine RPMs? Will your car have a mental episode? These cars are very temperamental.
You best option is to get 18" wheels and tires. That is what I have done for my winter tires. TireRack will help you figure out what you need.
