19" Winter Wheels for GLE 63

Has anyone put 19" wheels on a GLE 63? If yes, did it work ok and clear the brake calipers? Which offset is best? I really want to go with 19" instead of 20" due to the fact the tire I want is not available in 20" size that would fit on the GLE. The base GLE 350 19" rims are for sale all over the place for around $500 for a set of 4. They are 8.5" wide with a 59mm offset. If that rim works, it would be ideal. The plan is to install 255/55/19 Wranger Duratrac tires on 19" rims.

This would be a second set of wheels for my GLE 63S SUV occasional ski trips and trips down dirt forest roads. We also have a GLS 63 and I'm hoping to be able to use this same set wheels on it in the event we take that car up into the mountains instead of the GLE.

Some (repeat some, very few due to load/fitment constrains) 19" do fit GLE/ML 63. Low offsets are needed: 19x9 et30 or 19x8.5 et25. TireRack has a few that do fit. I did try 19x10 et38 that barely (by less than 1mm) cleared the front calipers: https://mbworld.org/forums/ml63-amg-...w166-ml63.html
