For the W209 owners...

Trying to play with fitment and offsets with my bro's car (FadedBlackSocks).

However, before going too aggressive and/or buying the wrong tire size(s), I'd like to know if anyone here is running a 245/35/19 on 19x9.5 or 19x10 wheels in the rear.

If so, can you please post a pictures?

I understand that's a bunch of pictures online via Google images. But I'm specifically trying to see what it looks like on a W209.


I've gone very aggressive on my previous W208, but haven't fully experimented with my bro on his W209.


Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

If the car is lowered I think it would rub. Just pushing my wheels flush running an 18 245 35 was so close to rubbing i was a little worried. My c55 rubs with a 18 255 35 rear.

Why do you want to have 245/35/19 on the rear ?
OEM is wider 255/35/18
On my previous CLK 63 I ran 265/30/19 on 19 9.5 and it was clear except if the car is lowered, the inner rear wings have to be rubbed

If I remember correctly, my bro is currently using 255/30/19 (...I think). With him needing tires soon, we're trying to play around with offsets for new wheels or change out the spacers with his existing ones.


We understand OEM is wider. However, because of the potential aggressive fitment, we may "have" to stretch the tire a little bit to clear the rear fenders. And when you try to stretch a "30 series", that's not a good day to be running over any road imperfections. Therefore, the "35 series" will slightly compensate for the stretch.

Here's his stance now...
But with his current tires, the wheels can't be pushed out any further cause the straight sidewall rubs a specific part of the fender/bumper (where it connects) when going up driveways.






We playing around to see if we can achieve a similar stance with my rear while retaining a comfortable drive.

The angle of the picture below doesn't do any justice. The stretch is hard to see...






Once I see pictures... I'll know exactly what to do.
It's how I made a 10.5 fit on my W208. LoL. Lip size was nearly 4.5 inches. No fender work either. Just the typical fender roll.

I used to run 265/30 on 19s 8.5Fronts and 10Rears. Little rub in the rear.

I'm guessing your offset was moderate to conservative.
Do you remember what your offsets were?
Based on how my bro's setup is now, it's relatively aggressive. However, we want to go a tad bit more aggressive.
Before I sold my HRE's from my W211, my bro used them. They were 20x10 with 275/30. The fronts were ridiculously too aggressive.

The car wasn't off the jacks yet. Hence the fender gap.
