Exclamation Mercedes C250d W205 Alloy Upgrade help.

hey guys, im fairly new around here. (a head up for any obvious questions i ask )

So im going to pickup a used 2016 C250d Premium Plus AMG Line,

I am planning to do a few C63 style upgrades, (Diffuser, Alloys, Grille) Not a full conversion.

here is my dilemna, the TYRES.
I have seen some alloys for sale with the following specs.

19X8.5 ET45

19X9.5 ET45

PCD 5X112

C.B 66.6

I need tyres then look nice but also give decent protection to the rim.

i used to have an E350 CDI with Calibre rapide alloys on with
FRONT: 235/35/r19
BACK: 255/35/r19

the Misses drove and will drive the car the most, and she curbed literally every corner

im looking for the best tyre size for decent protection and looks on the C63s Style multispoke black rim.

My supplier suggested FRONT: 265/30 r19
REAR: 235/35 r19
which the front is the same as the outgoing e class so im worried about the curbing...

Any help is appreciated!

Welcome!

I have the exact same as you, lovely car. I can’t help you with the wheels but why not get the ones you want and get alloy insurance?

alloy insurance? never heard of that. is that for damage?

EDIT: i have done some research and alloy wheel insurance is only available when the car is purchased from a dealer or is being leased.
i, however, purchased my car from a private individual....
