yes - lowered stretched tires are fine - stock height it looks bad
just depends on your goals and overall look
Understood now, thanks for the information. Trying to learn all of this as quickly as possible, feels like drinking from a fire hose. Appreciate all of yours insights.
Well, I've worked through urotuning.com and Discount Tire to confirm fitment with TSW, and they've said the 8.5 32ET will work on the front, but they are insisting that the 9.5x39ET will be too aggressive and stick out too far in the back. They are saying I would need offset in the rear of around 50.
Thoughts on that?
I am running in the rear 19x9.5 with 36 offset and 265x35 tires. It is wider and more agresive looking but does not stick out. I think it's the perfect size combo.

sorry but your set-up looks like it's poking from a profile picture of the car. please show pictures down the side - coupe fitment has only proven to be minorly different
Believe I’ve come to an agreement with Discount Tire that Vorsteiner VFF107’s will fit.
Fronts are 8.5x30 (edit: based on alexasa’s post I should maybe go with 35 offset?)
Rears are 9.5x46
Going to let the manufacturer confirm that for me tomorrow when I call them, but my guy was told they were made to fit W205’s should should be good in some fitment.
Way more than I intended to spend on wheels, but it is what it is...and hopefully they hold up better than the ****ty AMG cast ones did.

They are right at the edge. I dont plan on lowering the car so I think they are the perfect fit.

Tires would be Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3+. Stock ride height. Seems like the tires would be stretched out given same stock width on a wider wheel? This is the "optimal" fitment that the vendor is suggesting though.
