Hey guys, got a set of 19" AMG wheels that come on the S550 and now I'm shopping for tires.
Original size on these wheels is:
255/40/19 front - 8.5"
275/40/19 rear - 9.5"
Is that gonna fit on my e350 sport?
Am I better off with 245/40/19 front and 275/35/19 rear?
I'm planning to lower this car a bit. Also, offset on both these wheels is 43. A bit bigger than factory W211 wheels but I'll install and if I need a small spacer to have the wheel sit nice and flush ill go for it.
Here a pic of one of the wheels I got and the other pic is one I found on this forum of a member's car with these wheels on. His car isn't lowered.
Sounds like a set that will trigger dashboard discoteque of ESP, ABS, BAS and who know what else lights.
For proper tire choice, go to tire manufacturer site and compar RPM.
Rule of thumb says 3% difference is acceptable, while 5% is pushing the margins.
How is the different offset working for you?
Is S class having the same R14 bolts?

I'm sorry but you lost me. Why would this set trigger any lights? There's plenty people here running CLS, CL, SL 19" with more aggressive offsets with no problems.
I haven't installed them on the car yet so I don't know how they sit .
the wheels came with the original bolts. Not sure what the difference is vs E class bolts, if any.
Did you compare the RPM ?
Now I need to correct your calculation.
Rear rim has 4 mm offset difference and is 1/2" wider, so you need to add half of that.
Meaning new rim in the rear will be 10-11 mm closer to the suspension parts.
Do you have that much clearance to spare?

You are correct in your calculations and I suppose I have more than 10mm to spare . Even if that is a problem, I could run some small spacers in the rear.
I decided im gonna go with the Conti ExtremeContact DWS 06.
Just checked RPM on Conti website;
Front tire 778RPM
Rear 750RPM
That is 245/40/19 and 275/40/19
Couldn't find the 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 although tire rack has them available in 35/30 .
