Tire size for 19x9 rims for E55
What is the proper size of tire for 19x9 rim. I'm in a debate with tire rack and they are saying the correct size for an E55 is 235/35 with 19x9 front and 19x10 rear (275/30) and I am saying 245/35 is right, cause that is what I see people use on the board.

With the sizes you indicated, you would have a taller tire on the front than on the rear. (25.7"F / 25.5" R) This would not only look starnge, but the diameter differences may affect the ABS system. By using the 235/35-19 Front, and the 275/30-19 Rear, you will have no problems whatsoever. Both sizes are 25.5" in diameter. Please let me know if you have further questions

MBWorld Fanatic!
That's odd! Their websites 'Upgrade Garage' has 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 listed for 'all' 19 wheels with a staggered setup. They do make mistake and their website has errors. I have sent them two emails because they continue to list 255/35/18 for all 18 inch E55's rear tires. The 18 inch rear should be 275/35/18!

I talked to a few people about this and you really have to do your own homework for this. Proper size is/would 245/35/19 fronts and 275/30/19 for the rears. Just look at my sig!
