These should be no problem.

OEM Multispoke 19" have similar dimensions:
8x19" ET45 Front
9x19" ET54 Back

I am running 10mm spacers in the back and 15mm spacers in the front with the same tire sizes as you posted.

Make sure that the fronts are XL rated.. I know the 235/35/R18 DWS's tires are not.

Should I go with a 275 rear? Or is that too much for an ET45.
I think I have the space on a non lowered car ..... I have a huge gap and would like to fill it as much as possible.

Will explain the different load ratings.. the C63 tires should be rated XL.

I too am looking at a set of wheels. The specs are 19x8.5 ET35 front and 19x9.5 ET40. I'm worried the front might stick out too much if the Stocks are ET45 which looks like close to being flush up front.

Both front and back will not look right IMO.

Front wil stick out 16mm more then stock
Rear will stick out 20mm more then stock
That is ALOT.

ET 35 front would make me worry about caliper clearance also.

pictures aren't good enough?

either way I'd say you are good. your fronts will be sunk in the fenders 10mm more than mine. rears shouldn't be an issue either at 9.5 and et45.

For some reason I thought you were running a spacer on you front wheels that equaled a total of ET35.

Hmmm.... ET35 ... that looks better.

Your running 275/40 rear ? Not 275/30? And it is lowered. You on springs or Coils?

sorry 275/30 for rears.

no spacer in the front.

the rear has a 5mm spacer making et60 wheels et55. the rear is where it's really tight but still I haven't had any rubbing ever.

car has h&r springs.

I've had a few different tire brands on it and all have worked with no issue.

19x8.5 et35 is really the perfect front wheel for this car.

So you think I should be good with a non lowered P30 with 19x8.5 ET35 front and 19x9x5 ET45 rear?

What about tire size?

Both offsets are on the aggressive side as we typically use a 50 on the rear 9.5's looks like its your wifes new toy, so as long as you do not plan to lower it you would be fine depending on tire size of course.

Yeah, I don't see us lowering the car. Its basically our families dd. I drive my truck when I need it but the C63 gets driven the most out of both of them and my wife drive is the most so it still need to be functional and hassle free.

So do you think my best bet is:

Front: 19x8.5 ET45 with 235/35/19 (Continental DWS)
Rear: 19x9.5 ET45 with 265/30/19 (Continental DWS)

Or should I try to get a set with ET 35 front? Im not even sure if they even make the wheels with ET35 fronts. Im looking at getting the same wheels we have but the reps in 19's

Do you think this tire set up is my best option or should I do a 245/275?

If it's your wife's DD, I can't believe she is going to like the ride of a P30 car with 19" rims.

She likes a stiff ride.

Sorry man, I had to. But really she is used to an aggressive set up, all of our cars in the past have been track inspired.

Anyone.... I would like to get my order started in the next day or so.

Front: 19x8.5 ET45 with 235/35/19 (Continental DWS)
Rear: 19x9.5 ET45 with 265/30/19 (Continental DWS)
