Will 19x9.5 fit in the front

I have a set of Lorinser LM5 in 19x9.5 all around on my S500 and is planning to put them on my E320. My question is will 9.5 fit in the front?

Looking...
On my 03' E320 I'm riding 245 (8.5)/35/20 Front & 275(10)/30/20 in the Rear. I'm pretty sure the tire shop told me 8.5 was the largest to fit on the front without it hanging way out on the side.

I do believe you wil have trouble with tire rub. Most brand tuners are using an 8.5 in the front. If they could have gone wider without trouble I am pretty certain they would do it. Try fitting a rim on the front and check for clearances before mounting the tire especially the upper control arm bolt. My 8.5 Brabus rims with 35 offset are close. Good luck and check your back space.

Unless you are planing 255's up front(won't fit anyway)you don't need 9.5 in wide rims(Even if you had the perfect offset and had no intentions to lower the car)Budget large for suspension mods,you will need them.

They'll rub. Also, with a 1996, to maximize value, keep it as stock as possible; there is a lot to consider in putting 4 x $1200 rims on a car that wholesales for less than the total of all four... JMHO

So

you recommend a 15mm hub centric spacer,to adapt 19's to cobble up not only a poor handling 320 an unsafe bearing loaded 320?

Or do you recommend it only on your 430?


is your 430 lowered as well on those skinny 235/19's with the big spacers?

If your heart

is set on 19's some guy is selling the proper offset brand new 19's with new rubber in Ca. for less than 900 bucks.Mb center caps included.
This style

I don't recommend 19's unless you are a poser that is not interested in high performance driving,but if you gotta have them

No

I am pretty sure the rims I mentioned were brand new with all brand new rubber.

What kind of high performance driving can you get out of a W210 E320?

you have not taken a w210 E320 around a racetrack at speed.They do quite well.On the proper tires and suspension settings

happy New Years

Iv'e

done autocross,track,and rally work in w210's " proper tires and suspension settings"
they do just fine.

understeer is easily controlled and body roll is a simple matter of the correct bars and lower CG.

mostly a Lorinser C-Class
The recommended size on the W210 E320 for the LM5 19" is 8,5x19" ET 26 in the front and 9,5x19" ET26 in the rear. The recommended tire size is 245/35 R19 in the front and 275/35 R19 in the rear.
