anyone running a non-staggered setup?
I am potentially considering a set of wheels that are 19x9.5 all around. Does anyone run a similar setup? Would you run the same size tire for all 4 or are you using a staggered setup? What is the ideal offset for a 9.5" wide wheel? ET35?
TIA

If you want to run non staggered 19's you will need 8.5 rims with 245 40 19 tires.
Ideal offset depends on the wheel but normally 35 to 38ish for 8.5 /19 and 35 to 40 ish for a 9.5/19

Unfortunately, you don't mention what kind of W220 you have. For a 4Matic, for example, you shouldn't go for a staggered setup, unless you make sure that the rolling diameter (revolutions per mile) of the front and rear tires are the same, otherwise you will wreck your drivetrain.

i took a look at the wheels yesterday, and the seller was a housewife that that was selling the wheels for a friend that moved out of the country. she measured the wheels with a tape measure and subsequently posted the wrong size. when i got there i turned the wheels over and they were actually 18x8.5 et 35 from a clk. too small for what i'm looking for so i passed on them.
