wheel and offset opinions

Hi Guys,

i know this subject has been done to death. i read the c-class wheel thread but i wanted to get opinion of c32 owners.


I'm lookin at buying a non staggered setup.

19x8.5 with offset of 42mm

i know the proper et for the fronts is 30, but i read that some people who get 30, still can't clear the brakes sometimes.

should i get a 15mm spacer just to be safe? so et of 27 in the front and probably get a 10mm spacer in the rear, to have a et of 32 in the rear.

My other question is that i want to run 245/35/19 tires. I know some members are running 245 in the front.

I just want to know how much they rub? Do they only rub on U turns or do they rub every time you make a turn.

..
My recommendation: Find another set of wheels with the correct offset.

I can say that I used 235/17 all around and the front would only rub via any far right or left turning...
