New owner to an E320. Looking to get some iForged 19s. Help me on sizes please!!!

I'm very new to this forum. I just purchased an E320 recently and I'm looking to get some 19" iForged wheels sometime this week with the help from this forum. My questions are:

- If I get 19x8 all around, what offset do I need and what tire sizes should I get? I don't want the rear to rub if there are a couple of adults in the back.

- If I go with a staggered fitment of 19x8F and 19x10R with the right offsets, will I rub in the rear with a couple of adults in the back? Again, what offset and sizes of tires should I go with?

Thanks in advance to everyone that replies. I hope to be of service to you guys in the future as I learn more about my E.

MY MB WAS LEMON'D
8 is a little too thin for the front... most of us do an 8.5 front and 9.5 back... I konow with 9.5 in the back you won't have a problem.

You will regret it if you do 8's all the way around

Thanks! So the correct size tires for the 8.5F and 9.5R are 245/35/19 and 275/30/19? Also, what offsets are you guys running on this setup?

A lot of us run 10's in the rear. You can even squeeze in a 10.5 rear with the correct offset (This could give you a 4" to 4.5" rear lip)

Did you use a lowering module or Star Diag to lower your car?

Wink iforged essens 19's

I have 19x8.5 in the front. They lowered my car using Star diag. but some custom wheel shops can do it, at least in Miami. Wheelsboutique.com, which is in Miami, can lower your car. The ride is just as smooth as the orginal 17's. I would hesitate to get 20's because of increase road noise and bent rims. If you do not have airmatic, then I'm not sure how easy it is to lower the car. Make sure the tire patterns DO NOT have a V channel, this will increase road noise. I have Nittos on these wheels and they ride pretty nice, Michelins I think are the best just more $$$$. Also I went with a mesh pattern because if you do not have an AMG, then you have ugly brakes
