Wink 19" Vredenstein Tires for my 430 convertible

The recommended size for 19" sizes for my 430 convertible is 235/35/19 and 255/30/19. however Vredestein ultrac Sessanta dont make 255/30/19. they make 255/35/19. can anyone tell me the alternative. i will like to use a Vredestine ultrac

i think for the rear, its more practical if you go 265/30/19 for slightly chunky or 245/30/19 or slightly stretched, but i could be wrong. Hopefully someone else chimes in, but for my rears i usually go back between 265/30/19 and 255/30/19. goodluck

to Giorgiopr: Im trusting the shop to make a good judgement as to the right size and if it requires spacers or not. however im trying to stay within the manufactures and recommended wheels and tire sizes. Also researching if others have any problems with that size wheels and tires but so far none

CLK320 Cabrio 2001
I am putting 19's all around on my 2001 CLK 320 and I was told by a tire shop that I should only put 235/35/19's on my car. Is that correct?

I thought your wheels should be staggered. you need staggered wheels or probably already got one. 235/35/19 & 265/30/19 rear
