Tire fitment.
Has anyone ran 235/35/19 Front & 255/35/19 Rear tires on 19x8.5 & 19x9.5 rims for C55????? Offset is 32front & 35rear. Sitting on H&R sport spring. Does it rub at all?

I run 225/40/18 in the front and 255/35/18 in the rear. No rubbing at all, on stock suspension. Rear slips less, I also just changed to the CLK63 rear rims that are an additional 5mm offset wider and still no rubbing.
I tried 235/35/18 once in the front on the stock 7.5" wide rim, I didnt like the handling or response felt mushy and to tall, after 2 days I exchanged them. Also caused issues with making the traction control turn on when hard cornering because of the wheel slip ratio was to far apart in the specs.
More than likely if you want to run a 235/35/18 in the front you will want to get a 8.5" rim.
My suggestion is to run the stock C55 rear wheels in front and the stock CLK63 rear wheels on the rear. This will give the widest rim, and stance within factory specs and you have 8.5" rims all around with no rubbing.
