What size tires for Brabus Rims 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear, on 2002 E320 Sport?
I recently purchased used Brabus rims, 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear.
I need to know which size tires to purchase for a stock 2002 E320 sport.
How do I determine this information?
If anybody has any recommendations, please post.

hey… according to tirerack.com
that’s the recommended size tire for that size wheel…
here’s a tire calculator
use the calculator to see what happens to your speedometer reading when you change the size of your tires and wheels. the graphic shows your stock tire selection in an outline overlaid on your new tire selection. it will give you the entire dimension to compare between two sizes.

However:
Is 10mm in width on the front tires going to make a difference in steering response? Definitely - try it on windy roads.
Is it going to rub? Possible, depending on how much he has lowered it and also bear in mind the inner control arm bolt problem that a lot of people have...that is on stock cars (do a search on E55Kev's posts and you will find it repeated numerous times).
Is 10mm on all four wheels i.e. 40mm of extra rubber in contact with the road, not to mention the extra unsprung weight that goes a long with that, going to affect pickup speed? Go figure.
For aftermarket application on stock W210s, AMG recommends 235's in the front and 265's widths in the rear on their 18"x8" and 18"x9" wheels. The same width will fit on 8.5 and 9.5" wheels comfortably. There is a difference...E55's have fenders rolled at the factory and stock W210 don't. The E55 also has a lot more power than an E320 to push those wider tires...I think it would be fair to say a lot of us would want to maintain the already limited level of performance (compared to the 55) on our cars - not slow the car down and use more gas...but of course, that is just my opinion.

I don't understand the need to rebuke the new/delayed posting. They're merely offering an update/confirmation of information.
If it's not mis-information, leave it be. What's the harm?
