it doesn't look bad, i think going 245/35 and 285/30 would look good keeping stock ride height

that is exactly same specs as mine.
Looks good but profile is very low. Not very comfy
I am also looking into 19" and i want it to be meaty look. As i need performance.

YEAH ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
That was the moment where I figure out less words is more.
I made similar topic in the past http://www.benzworld.org/forums/gene...out-22-mb.html
W212 seem to generate a group of owners who do that to their cars. I read European forum, where not only cars get low-profile wheels, but are drastically lowered as well, so the owners carry stack of wood planks in the trunk to get on some driveways.
Bottom line, this is wasting perfectly good car and making it unusable for normal driving.
The only thing I don't know how many of such owners bought the car for their own earned money.

It's all in fun. I am running the E63 AMG 19" staggered wheel setup on my E550 4M. The wheels are 19x9 and 19x9.5. Tires are Bridgestone Potenza Pole Position s-04, 245/35 and 285/30. They are as skinny as I was willing to go and I had no desire to get to a 20" wheel.

As as far as the stretch, there is a trade off with sidewall height if I go 295 in the rear. I’m probably going to move to 30 sidewall and I don’t think that’s possible with a 295. Not sure of the calc off hand to know the sidewall loss.

That's a nice setup. I have a pre-facelift e550 4matic.. running staggered (235/35/19 fronts and 275/30/19 - 8.5/9.5). If i were to switch to 235/45/19 and 265/40/19, think I'd have any rubbing issues? I assume my overall diameter might be close to yours. do you experience any rubbing?

Assuming you still have the same rims, what offset are they?
