Need advice very quickly
Hi guys,
I finally got myself (E320) down to the wheel shop today and picked up the following:
19x9.5 rear and front
In the front the put
235/30/19 Front
255/40/19 Rear
I personally thought the front tire looked tooo low profile. The guy said drive it and if you didn't like it bring back in the morning to change the tires.
So tonight I was meeting some friends and got on the freeway and right on the onramp, at about 50 with a moderate curve, the ESP went nuts on me. The car practically stopped and I almost crashed the car into the side wall.
Bottom line the ESP doesn't like the new wheels.
I am wondering what size tires should I get to fit the above mention rims?
I am wondering if the 9.5 is just too wide for the front and if I should reduce that. Have any of you had any problems with ABS or ESP after getting larger rims? Do I need to get the dealer to reprogram the car for larger wheels or something?
Please advise as I have to decide by the morning on what tires I should get. I think the guy will even let me switch the wheels for smaller if need be, that might take a week but tonight's episode has made me a lot more patient.
I will post pix soon, the car loooks syck. I love it but this problem is eating away at me.
Thank you all.

do you think 245/40/19 will work all around?
If I change the front wheel to 8.5 and keep 245/40/19 will it bubble over? I mean should I just keep 9.5 on all wheels? Because I have the option to change it still.
