You got yourself a nicely done 550 coupe bro. Actually after seeing your car pictures up here, it made me think that it's time for me to switch to different style of wheels and get the same thing as yours even though I got a W212 sedan LOL. Well, I finally placed an order today and I should be rolling out with the new set of wheels and tires tomorrow afternoon.
I got them in gloss black F19x8.5 +35, R19x9.5 +38 with Continental Extreme Contact 255/35r19 and 285/30r19. My car is lowered on H&R springs but not as low as your coupe. Based on my current wheels/ tires set up, I should be fine with no rubbing (fender side/ strut side) with the new set up due to +5 offset more conservative (after wheel offset/ wider tires size calculation).
How are they holding so far with your bi-turbo?

The wheels are holding up just fine. In all fairness though, I don't get to get on it much. Houston rush hour and roads around where I work keep me at low speeds, but when I can give her a little gas and take turns, it feels good.
Can't wait to see some pics of your car with the new wheels.

Hey bro I remember you asked for a picture so here it is. Anyways, I ended up getting the VRF1.1 instead because the tire shop driver messed up, he ended up picking up two 19x8.5's for me and I really wanted to get over with that day too.

I like it! I've never been one to black out a car, but I'm considering it these days since I have the darker wheels now. Good job on the car man. Anything else planned?

I just got some TSW Rogue 19/8.5/35 and 19/9.5/30 (f/r). My only problem is, I think the look is a bit aggressive with 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 (f/r). I bought them from CarID, and this was the recommended setup.
I wonder if putting 235/35 and 265/30 (f/r) would fit more flush with the fender?
Sorry! For some reason I couldn't upload any photos in the reply. Here are some link on my Flickr stream:

Do they have a fitment guarantee? If so I'd make sure you can get a new set so you have no issues rubbing.they look nice though!

Thanks SnakeDoctor! They do have a fitment guarantee. And from what I can tell, there's been no rubbing. The sizes I referenced are also what TSW recommends on their website.
I just wonder if I can get away with a slightly narrower tire to make them more flush? Or is there nothing I can do, because of the offsets (32/front 35/rear)?
Either way, I'm cool with them. Just trying to educate myself on the science.
Thanks again!

I ran rubberbands on my Vossen 20s, because I was dropped. Tires did not last long. And they didn't meet load rating requirements so places like Discount Tire wouldn't touch my car.
If you have no rubbing and no plans to drop, I'd just leave it. If it really bothers you, I'd see if CarId will let you use their guarantee and swap them out for a less aggressive offset. Do you have to pay for shipping?

my 19's are more than flush in a 9.5" rear with a 275/30 - in most cases a 10" width wheel protrudes outside of the wheels well. Not my thing but some prefer this look.

MBWorld Fanatic!
Agreed that your rear offsets are pushed out too much. I run 285/30 tires on 19x9.5 wheels with 45 offset on rears and this is flush (front is 255/35 on 19x8.5 ET 40, also flush).
