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?????

Language Barrier
UK spelling = Tyres
US spelling = Tires

Tyres or Tires one should understand....

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.
