(245 35 19 tire) The pictures show a 34 offset in the front an a 46 offset in the rear but I would do 43 or 45 in the rear for a flush look with a
(275 30 19 tire )

Are the wheel widths the same as you previously posted, 8.5F and 9.5R?? AMGBOY gave you the best advice ... et 35 front with 245 tire and et 45 rear with 275 tire. 35 offset in the rear will poke outside the wheelwell too much and will likely rub.
You could use 245 tires all around but with an E550 the traction on the rear would suck hence the 275 recommendation by AMGBOY

I believe he also has a modified suspension.
35 on the rear is going to be close but fine if you're using 275 tires. If you're going 285 (like me) then I'd recommend 45.
I have ET 40 on the front with 255s, and it's fine. But I had the same tires with ET45 and it rubbed the struts. Would have preferred 35 but it wasn't available. Moot, since the 40 works but the 35 would have looked a little more perfect.

How is this setup?
19 x 8.5 et 35 with 245 tires
19 x 9.5 et 40 with 275
Think I can squeeze 285 on the back?
Car will be stock. I have no plans on dropping
