Opinions on stagggered set-up on 2005 E-500
Hey all-
Looking for some advice and opinions in regards to wheel and tire size. I have and 05' E500 and currently runing on the upgraded 17" 5 spoke rims that came as part of my Appearence Package. I am looking at getting HRE 549 or 543's I haven't decided.
What I know:
-Going with a "Staggered Set-up"
-I want 19" wheels.
Need advice for:
-Widths for the staggered setup.
-19"x8"Fronts/19"10"Rears (Pros and Cons)
-19"x8.5"Fronts/19"9.5"Rears (Pros and Cons)
-Any other widths recommended.
-Any info on tire sizes? I've heard 45's in the front and anywhere from 65's-85's in the rear. Opinions?
Let's here it.

I run these sizes with 24mm and 29mm front and rear offsets respectively (a very aggressive setup), and without any rubbing issues using the 275 rears. You can slide a 285 but you will either bring the offset down to 33mm and/or roll the rear fenders.
Pros and cons - realistically, there is nothing really that will be of a concern to you as a regular driver, other than accelerated tire wear since the car will have added camber especially when the car is lowered.
