Be careful with the ebay deals... im looking thru there as well and every manufacturer i talk with says the wheels will not fit b/c of our big brakes. there is one that sells wheels, but you need new lug screws to make it work. this particular wheel has a 35mm front offset (as do most of the ebay wheels) so remember, you'll prolly need new lug screws...

wider as far as wheels or tires? i think wheels, 10" is the widest. for tires, i think that 285 or 295 is the widest... im also still looking for info on this, will let you know as soon as i find out!

Taken for a bud on the other forum.
-------------------------------------
The key to your question is rim width, and offset. Most 19" rims are 8.5" in width with an offset of 35MM. Though a 255/35/19 would fit perfectly on the for mentioned rim, 10-1 it will rub the friggin' suspension nut. A remedy for a 255 front setup would be a lower offset; i.e. 30MM (good luck finding it). In all, a 245/35/19 tire would the widest up front. As for the rear, my memory suggests no wider than 285 to avoid fender rub. FYI, our E55's suspensions are tuned to the 245/275 combo.
Good luck.
------------------------------------------
i personally will stay with the 245/275 combo... It looks very nice as it is,no need to run into issues. Perhaps after my rears wear out, i'll see if a 285 fits and go from there...

So what would you recommend, switch to 19 's or just lower it 1 inch and if i go 19's i should stay with the measurements you posted for a troubleless ride? I just need new shoes to start liking my car againg.

i hear ya on trying to spice up the car!
i would stay at stock hieght if you plan on lowering... i think a few of the guys have run into rubbing issues when on 19s and lowered. 19s and stock would be fine, it'll fill up the wells nicely. then again, 18's and lowered would also look nice. keep looking for 18s... im searchin all over the place! its hard.
also, sent a pm back to ya...
