Lightbulb E220 19" Wheels but What Tyres

Front 8.5x19 offset 35
Rear 9.5x19 offset 35
These are a nice set of replica 5 spoke AMG's.
Can the forum suggest/recommend from source or experience the tyres I should have for these wheels.

I have been told to go for: 245/45 on the front and 275/30 on the rear.

Any thoughts?????

yes the tires size that you was told is the best. If you can get 265 x 30 x 19 is the best so it won't rub at all. anyway good luck.

how would it look different

Would there be a difference in the appearance of installing 265/30 rather than 275 on the rear. Are there any pics to compare?

Language Barrier

UK spelling = Tyres
US spelling = Tires

I am from UK but readers must appreciate this is a site on the WWW therefore attracting members globally.

Tyres or Tires one should understand....

Pay no mind to the Americans who speak ENGLISH but don't know the original spelling of YOUR words.

By the way, what colour is your E220?

Hi, The car is silver, wheels have just arrived (19" AMG III), have had the rear windscreen and rear passenger windows tinted.

Am a little confused as to the tyres I need for the wheels as I am getting a mix of advice:

AMG site - f 245/35 r 275/30
MB dealership - f 235/35 r 275/30
reply above - f 245/35 r 265/30
friend of mine - f 235/35 r 265/30 but he is going by what he has on his CLK.
They are expensive tyres if I make the wrong choice (almost £850 pounds for the set).

I was going to add the boot lip spoiler but am not too sure how it will suit the standard avantgarde.


Any thoughts..

Almost Complete

I took delivery of the car on Friday, had the tints done, got the wheels put on with 245/35 19 on the front and 265/30 19 on the rears.

Bootlip spoiler to go (maybe)..

Ride quality has been affected by the addition of the 19's and removal of the stock 16's. I can feel all the bumps in the road and the noise level in the cabin had increased too.

I will post some pics.

By the way the picture is edited because I had to crop it to get the right size. Ta, N.
