Quick Wheel/Tire Fitment Question
Alright I posted the same question in the w220 forum but I'm not getting a reply so Im hoping someone in here can help me out. I just picked up a set of 19x8.5 (30et) 19x9.5 (30et) for my '02 s55 and Im just wondering what size tires will get me a good looking fitment when the car is lowered, meaning not to much sidewall and no stretch or anything.
Thanks guys
P.S. 2014 C63 going to be here in april

I have a 02 s55 that had 18x8.5 front and rear rims with 245x45 tires front and rear with a offset of 45 till my wife had to swerve off the road to avoid a head on collision and blew out 2 tires and bent 2 rims. I now have 19x8.5 front rims with 255x40 tires and 19x9.5 with 275x40 rears tires with 43 off set front and rear. The right front has slight rub hitting the plastic fender well in the front on hard u turns only. The rear don't rub but are super close to the fender. The difference in the ride is much harder than before. My wife likes the ride of the other rims and tires better. Even are friends can tell the difference.
