C55 with 19"?
Please advise if C55 is using 19" wheels , assuming the front will stay as 225 and rear is 255:
1. any rubbing issues
2. how much worse on ride quality in %
3. will it affect the milege / fuel indication guages ( say would the wheels be larger ? )
thanks

i just ordered some 19s and will be arriving by end of this week. i won't tell you what i got 
but will post pics soon. my car is lowered so i'll tell you how they ride when i get them on. as to the tire sizes you listed, i think the standard tire set-up are 235-35-19 (f) and 265-30-19 (r) for 19s.

I found 255 rear is marginal (but no rubbing issues ) and 265 rear seems that the tires will be sticking out !
Would like to know your expereince with them
Many thanks

I agree with jtc55 and AMG_55 about the size of the tires. F 235/35/ and R 265/30 for 19". Assuming you get these sizes then, I think it wont rub as long as you get the right size and offset of wheels

yhey fill the fenderwell much better and the view from the rear is beefier
no sticking out, if u get the right offset
im running 275 w/ a 2 mil spacer, i did have to grind the inside of the fender though
265 no problem
