Will 19x9 fit on a 99 E55?
I have a chance to get a set of 19x9 HRE rims for a great price, I need to know if they will fit. they are 19x9 all around and the 0ffset is 35, also what size tires should I run? Will 255-35 be to wide for the fronts?

That is correct, James has 19X9's in the front and 19X10's in the rear but compared to my '97 E420, his front fenders have almost no lip on the inside. I think that's how all of the E55's come but I'm not sure. I had to roll my front fenders and cut and fold the front inside of the fender where it meets the bumper. My 19X8.5's on 245/35's were rubbing there.

But why all the fuss Jimmy, you're only running 8.5's and they already stick in like they could use more spacing????????
BTW, I seem to remember Kev mentioning that E55's come already rolled at the factory.

The E55's are not really rolled at the factory. The inner lip/edge is cut a lot smaller than how it was on mine. Where I cut mine in the front of the fender, James' E55 had hardly any lip there.

I'm using the same width wheels, 8.5" (but with a smaller diameter), with a slightly wider offset (ET33) but I don't seem to have any problems with rubbing or scrapping without the trimming done...sitting at about the same height (Jimmy?)....weird, hardness of springs maybe? dunno....
