18's to 19's help?
Hey guys, I need some input please.
So I had some staggered replica brabus 18's on my w210. Well, I cracked two of the rims, I'm now considering getting the same replicas but stepping up to the 19's staggered. I'm running eibach springs and bilstein shocks with speedybenz's sway bars in back. And number 1 pads all the way around. My question is with the 19's and the staggered setup, will it rub? Do specific tires rub only? How much of a ride difference is it between the 18's and 19's? Any help appreciated. Waiting for input before buying the rims..... thanks......

if you cracked 2 of the wheels why would you buy they same crap? 18s to 19s? its not gonna ride much different, just don't cheap out on tires and buy falken or kumho or anything like that cause it will ride like crap. as far as rubbing... it depends on if you go 235 or 245 and the offset, im not sure what the specs you need for the offset, maybe some one here can help. i once had a slammed *** 210 e320 on 225/35/19s and i think the offset was et35.. and it barely rubbed but it was like 2" off the ground and almost tuckin part of the wheel lol... hope this helps
