Rim sizing?

hey what's up you guys. I need help choosing the rim size on my clk 320. I was think 19x8.5 +15 all around. But I don't really know what would fit on it poperly.

I would go staggered widths front and back. 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 seems to be the most common; if you're feeling daring, try 10 in the back (you'll have to roll and possibly pull your fenders).

And a 15 offset is no good...you need to get as close to +35 as possible. FYI my wheels that are being made right now are 18x8.5 18x9.5 and I'm at +33 on the front and +35 on the rear. These offsets offer the most flush fitment for the 208s.

I was planning on rolling the fenders. Due to I wanted to drop it on air bags. That's why I really want to get the rim size right

If you're planning on riding slammed, you might want to confirm these offsets as these are best for flush fender fitment on a moderate (~1.4 inches) drop.

Forgestar F14s in brushed titanium finish. Long wait time (mine was 2 months, I've heard some waited around 3 or 4 months, a few even 5 or 6), good quality, good price point.

They should be shipping out sometime this week so needless to say I'm very excited.
