on a 19" rim, front: 245/40/19; rear 275/35/19. My CL65 on 19's are the same. A quick google search would lead you to the same conclusion.

Thank you for providing the details...

I am more interested in running larger tires for increased traction and performance.

I was thinking 255|35 in front and 285|35 in rear. Will this fit without rubbing??? If possible, wuld a 295|30 fit in the rear?

Thanks, have looked at that site in the past... was more so interested from first hand experince if anyone has ran the specific set up?

Also, any thoughts of offsets for front/rear for an agressive stance.

I just got these replicas 20x8.5 with 275 30 20 and 20x9.5 with 295 30 20. I had no choice in tire size since they were a smokin deal from my local tire shop they got as a trade in. I am doing tons of maintenance on the car so it will be on jack stands for a while. It looks like they will scrub the rear fenders so I will roll the fenders to help. If it is too bad I will have to change tire size. when I get done I will post the results.
