Will this Rim and tire package fit my car?
Hello ,
I am in the market for some new rims for my 430 and i can get an excellent deal on a set of Maya Rims with tires. My question is will 275-30-19 and 245-35-19 fit my car w/o rubbing . I know 19's will fit the car but wasnt sure about the tire sizes . Any help is greatly appreciated . Thanks

nope...only if you have a clk55 or rolled fenders.....otherwise...without mods...ur looking at 235/35/19 max up front...and 265/30/19 in the rear....even with this...i was rubbing in the back...for other 430's this was fine...just depends on ur car....i ended up going with a thicker spring pad, koni shocks, and changed my tires to solve the rubbing issues.....hope this helps

Thats def. not what I wanted to hear but thanks for the quick response. I am debating on still buying the rims and chucking out the tires it comes with. The tires have only 50% tread on them left .Winter is almost here anyway so I will only get a month or two out of them before I would have to take em off and go back to stock rims. This sucks though because of course the guy that is trying to sell them told me the tires would fit no proble m on my car . I am glad i asked before I drove the 115 miles to pick em up . Again Thanks for ur help.

No way you could fit 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 on a CLK unless you roll your fender just as curyous said. If you really like the rims and you think you could get a good deal on them, then go get them, but you have to buy a new set of tires. Best combination would be 235/35/19F and 265/30/19R. You also want to make sure that the whell offset is meant for your car. If you don't get the proper offset, though you have the right tire sizes, you might still rub. Hope this helps.

What are typical wheel size/offset combos, mostly 18", and appropriate tires for a 430? I've poked around doing some searching, but seen tons of different set ups and a lot of people talking about rolling fenders. No real rules to go by so to speak.
