Depends on the wheel style, and wheel offset. Also width of the wheel. But my gut feeling says no. That is too much tire to fit. Also is the car lowered or stock?

I don't think you would have enough room to fit 9 in front. Or 10.5 in the rear for that matter.

No need to apologize. That's what the forums are for. Better to ask questions before buying . My wheels are 18x8 32et and rear 18x9 35et. The fronts just clear the calipers and there is not much room on the inside next to the strut. So again 19x9 I think is too wide on the front. The 19x10 should fit. I figured some of the guys with real crazy fitments would chime in. Have you checked the wheel and tire fitment thread?

Hi, I have been dealing with this dilemma for a while. Recommended 19 in fitment is 8 on the front 9.5 on the back. Many have put 10 on the back but seems 9 on the front is too much without rolling fenders to make some room. The bigger problem, if you have the larger 4 pot calipers on the front is finding a aftermarket wheel that will clear. Maybe my taste is different but I would love to put vossen cv3's on but a lot out of my budget. Any of the cool replicas scrape too. Would love to hear about successful 19 inch wheels. Hope that helps

Another fitment question

Hi All,

New to the site, and could really use some advice. I'm riding in a 2003 CLK320 Coupe with elegance package, and recently cracked my driver-rear wheel - a 17x8.5 ET30 5-spoke.

It's been incredibly difficult to find a replacement. I ordered one, but they shipped the wrong part. It's identical except for the offset, which is ET34.

My question is what risk is there running an ET34 on the driver side and an ET30 on the passenger side?

Would adding a 4mm spacer to the ET34 be advisable?

Should I just bite the bullet and go to the dealer and get the genuine replacement?

Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Yes I have but still have confusion with the offsets and tires etc.

Most tire and wheel sites will tell you if a wheel will fit or not. One that I like to visit is Element wheels. Pick out a wheel you like. And put in your vehicle and it tells you yes or no. This stuff does make you crazy. One word of advice, know about what you want to spend. Then look at the wheels in your price range. I fell in love with some that were $1500, then I found out that was for 1! Lol

LOL.... I made the 1 vs set error also. Very disheartening...

These folks are pretty good also. http://www.getyourwheels.com/ ; as well as http://www.elementwheels.com/ and http://www.mandruswheels.com/
