Tires are 2+" taller. You affect more than just a rub

I believe you would need a 30 series tire out back if your going with 19s on a w203.

Not a good idea. A lot of folks have had rubbing just on 265s x 19. You'd need to install a thicker shim (rear) plus rolled fenders. Offset should ideally be 35mm and no less.

i ran 275/30/19 Toyo T1R on a 19x9.5 et34 for about 6 months. I rubbed on big dips and bumps and if i had passengers in the car. My rear fenders are shaved down also. Decided to switch back to a 265. But i would definitely go back to 275 if i do more fender work....
