IS THIS WHEEL SETUP OK?????

Hey guys!

Need some help over here! I´m planning to get some wheels, so i need some help with the offset!

This is the setup:

Front: 235/35/19 on 8,5x19 with ET30 offset or should I go with ET35 offset?
Rear: 265/30/19 on 9,5x19 with ET35 offset

Because according to Mandrus wheels, the best setup is Front:19x8.5 ET32
Rear:19x9.5 ET35 (http://www.mandruswheels.com/appguide_19.html)

Im planning to drop the clk also, with H&R springs and shocks...

By the way, doesnt the rim look like an AMG rim?

Thanks!

If you don't want your car low then you don't want my set up.

Just get some H&R's with Koni Yellows with #1 pads all around and you'll be set.

I'm lucky I have a local shop that does not charge a lot for the labor. It was only $60 per wheel to take apart and rebuild with a 1 yr warranty on air leaks. That price also included all the details like mounting balancing ect...

powdercoating fees should cover all the work they are doing in my opinion. Including tire mounting and balancing.
