Staggered Setup

Hi.

My stock wheels are 17" and the tire sizes are 225/55/17 all around. I would like to run 19" staggered.

1. What is the wheel width i should run front/rear?
2. For tire size i believe it should be 245 front and 275 rear, right?
3. If 245 front 275 rear will I run into any rubbing issues?

Car is an S350 post-facelift.

Thank you.

I would post this in the Tire Rack forum so Luke can respond to your question. He helped me pick out the best tire/wheel arrangement and I have been very happy. My OEMs were 16" and I went to 18". Here's my current set up:

18x8.5 AMG Double Spoke Bright Sil
18x9 AMG Double Spoke Bright Sil
245/45WR-18 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 XL
275/40YR-18 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3

You have 2 choices..

fat setup
275/35/19x9.5
245/40/19x8.5

low pro setup
275/30/19x9.5
245/35/19x8.5

I have ran both setups with my car lowered ..currently I have the low pro setup..

benznodubz, at that offset the wheels stick right out flush with the fenders? and do you know what are the original offsets with stock factory wheels (in my case, the 17"s)?

I was on the fat 40 series tire then now going to 35/30 series.

Tires are easier to find 35/30 series.. General tires actually have 19" tires that is affordable.
