I've done 19x9 offset 37 all around with 245/35 before. A lot of people run like 18x8 or 18x8.5

I'd like to run an OEM rear square set up at some point.

Likewise. 225/50/16 (or 215 in winter tyres), tried 245/40/17 summer but returned to 16" (price of full set of 225 width 16" nearly 200 cheaper, and when my tyres wear during a season no point to spend such a money IMO). Never even thought 18"-19", better investment for that money for sure LOL It is different thing if I could drive over 200 km/h autobahn every day...

OP im running 18x8.5 on 245/40/18 on a 4matic sedan on Conti's DWS. Great ride and even wear after one year!

On a side note, does anyone know what is the widest tire on a 19 rim squared combo that can fit on a 4matic sedan? Would 19x9 on 265/35/19 or 265/40/19 all around work? Lets say the offset is between Et30-Et38??
