new wheels.. just checking tire size...

orderd forgestar wheels for my 09 c63 (non perf package)

offset +45 and +50

19x8.5 and 19x10

buying new kdw tires
265/30/19
235/35/19

do these tire sizes sound correct? I think kdw run a little on the plus size of tires... I remember this from my old e55...

I think you can afford to go with wider tires on those wheel widths. 245s up front and 275s in the rear will fit better, but then you have to ask yourself if they'll rub given the offsets.

my concern also... 275 should work, but would be cutting it close... and kdw are a little wider than a normal 265...

this is my everyday car, and will have passengers in the back.. don't want to chance it..

Maybe see if there's a local shop that has that same width and offset in stock and just ask them nicely whether they'd let you throw them on just to make sure there are no fitment issues? I know it's a stretch, but sometimes people are quite willing to help. And it's Christmas!

I am running 10s et50 in the rear and 265s are on the small side (stretched like a Dubber). I'd go 275s.
