9.5 up front might be too wide. 8.5-9 is a standard front width on the W211. 30mm is fine.

I run a 265 tire "stretched" on a 10.5 rim. stretching the tire makes the sidewall rounder, meaning less chance of rubbing. I also run Toyo, which has a rounded sidewall and runs narrower than other brands.
you're running a 245 on a 8.5 rim, which means the tire doesn't stretch. It will sit very square. for reference, on my smart car, I tried yoko's. A 195 Yoko is just as wide as a 215 Hankook.

Greetings
This is my first post here. I have a E350 and i'm about to get a set of 19" HRE P107 wheels. I'm not sure about the tires though. If i keep the stock ET and go for 8.5 on front and 9.5 on rear, will 255/35/19 and 275/30/19 clear? How about 255/40/19 and 255/35/19?
Thanks.

FWIW, I'm running 19x8.5 ET34 front and 19x9.5 ET35 rear wheels with 245/35-19 and 275/30-19 tires on my E63. I'm lowered quite a bit and don't have any issues with rubbing. There's a pic in my sig.

Tire for rim help
It's a 2003 benz e500 stock height as of now but I'll be buying the lowering links but won't be much of a drop I want and the rim is front 19x8 back 19x9. And the back will be staggered. Ps I would even like to put some sort of spacer at the back only. Can u recommend a good size to use. First time dealing with rims.
