Everybody you talk to says 235/35/19 in front & 265/30/19 in rear, otherwise you will have problems. I will be putting these on Kleemann wheels next week.

I think it will be very very tight. Nobody has tried it. My prediction is it will rub. But then again, depends on what tire you are using and how much you're lowering. On the safe side, better keep it 235/265 (or 275).

We at KLEEMANN would use a 275/30 rear on the W 209, no rubbing with a 9,5 x 19 ET 35.

A 245 front will 99,9 % sure create a problem, but what ET will you use ????

well actually I just asked whether 245/35/19 fit without any problem because I was thinking abt getting 19 inch wheels with All season tires. Does any of you recommend having 19 inch with all season tires or I better get all season tire for the 17 inch?

By the way, lucas I want to ask you abt the kleemans muffler. If I want to change my stock muffler to the round rectangle kleemans one, would I need to modify my bumper to fit it right?

Thanks for the reply

P.S. what is an ET?

The ET is the ofset of the wheel.

The KLEEMANN rear muffler will only fit with the KLEEMANN rear
skirt, it will stick too far out with out the skirt.
