Hi, anyone could provide me with some more info about tire sizes. I have ordered 19 wheels which are 8,5 Front and 9,5 Rear. Just wondering which size would fit without rubbin fenders or e.t.c. Car is not lowered.

What's are the wheel's offsets? You should look at previous posts; there are multiple threads about this.
3MB's has posted valuable information.

245/35 front and 265/30 rear.This is my winter set up.

dav461

there is no info about wheel offset for some reason.
if i do 275/30 will it rub fenders?

gavrocool

At the rear i am running with 35 offset and 9,5 width and no rubbing.

dav461

no rubbing with 275/30 tire? even with bumps?
Just got an info, that for 8,5x19 front wheel has +32MM offset. So will it be okay to run 245/35 tire?

gavrocool

+32 is a bit aggressive for the front but still no rubbing.go for it.

Also, was told for rear wheels, the ET is +35mm. so i probably go for 275 instead of 265.

275 on 9.5 et35 will stick out.

275 on 9.5 - best et is 40-41 (38-43 range).

265 on 9.5 - best et is 37-38 (35-40 range).

dav461

so shall i go for 265 tire then?
i think front will be on level with fenders on 245. same i thought for 275 for rear.
P.S. 3MB, how do you think, will it be okay 245/35, 8.5J for +32MM offset (rear) ?

What are OEM wheel and tire sizes on E200? What's horsepower and tourque on E200? 4cyl? NA or turbo?

dav461

184 HP
135Kw
270Nm
4cylinder
Turbo.
AMG 6-spoke wheels: 8x18 235/40 and 8,5x18 255/35. Not sure about offset, but i think it is for front 45 and rear 49.

OK. Same wheels/tires as US.

1. With 9.5 et35, I would use 265. Ideally I would want 275 on 9.5, but with higher offset (and for higher horsepowered car). On E200 you do not realy want too wide tire, except for looks maybe.

2. 245 on 8.5 e32 upfront is a bit aggressive and may stick out just a bit, but should still be fine.

3. 245/35 on 8.5 et32 for rear is fine.

dav461

So ideally i need to use then, 235/35 front and 265/30 rear? don't you think that wheel will stick out of tire? (will stretch tire)

dav461

so did you say you have +35mm offset with 275 tire , and it is okay? did i understand right? or with 265 tire?

threeMBs

Well, NO to each question above.

IMHO, above sizes are ideal for 20" wheels when one wants to use a bit more rubber to protect wheels and to feel wheel gaps to eliminate need for lowering, but can be used on 19" as well to maintain stock like diameters.

But for 19", ideal sizes are 245/35-19 and 275/30-19. However, 275 wide tire on 9.5" wide wheel with et35 will stick out passed fender for sure, hence need to use a bit higher offset wheel (if available) or 265/30-19 tire if you do not want it passed fender (btw, even with 265 on 9.5 et35 wheel/tire maybe a bit passed fender, depending on tire manufacturer).

dav461

the main issue, that i do not want to "brake" fender on high speed when i will ride over bump.
