Looking at 19" Wheel /Tire set up
Who can help me get TSW Bremmas 19" with Nitto 555 tires. 235/35/19 and 265/30/19.
Will this set up with the squarer Nittos cause any rubbing issues? I am looking for a "fat look" tire like the Nitto vs. a more rounded tire like the PS2.
Is the Goodyear GSD3 square? Does it have the same contact patch as Nitto. I really like the look of the agressive tread on the Goodyears.

you will have rubbing problems on the rear even if you have a non lowered car. you will need to shave and maybe roll the fenders.

In the market
with a 235/35 tire you won't get the fat look...in fact the rim will most likely extend past the tire leaving it vulnerable to curbs or even just bit rocks. For the fat look you mentioned i would consider a 255/35...IMHO
I started with 235/35's on my 19's and just recently switched to the 255/35's

if you go with 255/30/19 then you shouldnt have a problem but your tire will look streched. I would go with the 265/30/19 with PS2 you might not even rub at all the part it rubs is not the fender, its more the plastic edge of the bumper.

Stock offsets that I see stamped on the stock 18" AMG are as follows for the C55
F-30
R-34
The 19" Bremmas offset are
F-32
R-35
Does this information tell me that the offsets are a bit different and therefore I am asking for trouble regarding rubbing with the larger size and larger rubber of 265 width?
