2000 E430 Staggard setup

Can somebody tell me if this is a reasonable setup.

Im using I-forged wheels with 19x8.5 front and 19x10 rear. I am planning to use Bridgestone potenza re050a..245/35/19 front and 285/30/19 rear.

Any feedback is highly appreciated.

This is the W211 forum (2003+ E-class). You might get more, or better, answers in the W210 forum.

The wheel and tire size sound like they will fit, but the key is whether you have the right offset and bolt pattern.

I don't think 285 will fit in the rear, the max would be 275 for the W210

i think mac is right. 275 max on the rear and you have to roll your inner fender lip. i assume you will lower car.

IMO,stay away from Iforged...they have horrible customer service once they mess up your order and it's likely they will LOL, Good Luck!
