Smile Tire Rub/Wheel Size 2012 E350 Sport

Hi everyone,

This is my first post (and certainly not my last) on the forum. I am in the midst of purchasing a Black 2012 E350 Sport with stock Tires/Wheels. I am looking to buy new tires and copy the wheels from a previous poster from 2014 (the link is below) I am curious as to, when I purchase the new wheels, what size tires will I need in order for no rub and would fit those exact wheels (I found the wheels on OEM Wheels Plus)? I am not the biggest car guru by any means. I am trying to replicate the first black E350 from the link below but probably will not lower the car. Thank you!

I just put 19x8.5x+30 wheels on my 2012 E550 sedan with 255/35/19 tires. I have rubbing from right front when cutting the wheel to the left and reversing. Otherwise, no problem. This post may help you if you use a tire size comparison tool to check the width and diameter differences between the two tire sizes and then take the wheel offset into account.

So you do not think they will rub? I'm pretty tentative to buy. But I assume I can get a thinner tire? Thoughts?

if youre putting same specs as G3170 did on his black E350 WITHOUT lowering, you should be fine. post pics please as I am awaiting delivery on my 20" and still contemplating on lowering. Id like to see how it looks on 20s without lowering. cheers!
