Staggered setup for 2000 E430

Thanks for others input, highly appreciated...now this is what i have now...

Hope this is the right setup..please help

Wheels made by I-forged with 5 lug and 35 offset

Front : 19X8.5 with 235-35-19 michellin ps2
Rear : 19.10 with 275x30x19 michellin ps 2

I know i should get the front to 245-35-19 but i got a good deal on the 235.

Can someone tell me if this is good enough....

The 235-35-19 is actually a better match to stock tire diameter than 245-35-19. The 235 matches the diameter of the rear 275-30-19 exactly.

The only thing to keep in mind is that the load rating on the 235-35-19 (91Y) is lower than that of the suggested 245-35-19 (93Y). You may need to run your air pressure a few pounds higher in the front to compensate for the reduced weight carrying ability of the narrower tire.

19x8.5 ET35 will fit in front with no problem.
