Fellas-02 E55 lowered on H&Rs,Bilsteins, and #1 pads all around..I'm gonna be running some new 19s and would like to know the best size tire combo to go for..Offsets are a bit more aggressive than stock and rims are wider(specs below)..I'm wanting a tire that passes the outer lip of the rim slightly to protect the rim..Not ballooned,but no stretch at all..Don't like the stretched look..Rather more of the tubbed look..I know it's a Benz but that's what I like..Wheel specs are as follows..

19x8.5(+30).....19x10(+32)...

What's the biggest rear tire I can put under it? Thanks..

you might need camber kit for the rears if you go 19" with the 10" wide but the look will be aggressive

Yep..Forgot to mention I'm already running rear camber arms..I'm thinking about a 275-35-19 in the rear..Would love a 285 but I don't wanna push it..Any opinions?

Need4Speed

Youll need some camber for the rear and a fender roll for that offset.

Do the 275 if your ganna go with that.

I would recommend a higher offset 40-45 for the rear.

Fender roll? Aren't the E55 fenders already rolled.. Or do you mean even further beyond what it already is?..I've been in contact with the wheel manufacturer and although I'm sure they're main objective is to sell rims,,they guarantee they will clear the brakes, 1/4s,and fenders on a w210.My concern is really the tires..I've also done a ton of reading past threads on this forum..General consensus is the rear of these cars except low offset wide wheels pretty easily.Ofcourse I want to be sure before pulling the trigger..Appreciate the feedback so far..

Here's my fender roll tread a while back.....

I run 275 35 19 on my rears it's pretty nice , but if your car is real low it starts getting real close to the dog leg area!!!

Vince-What are you lowered on and what is the offsets on your wheels?..From what I've been reading it seems the rears should be fine..I'm more concerned with the fronts..

I'm on ebachs with bilstein sports and camber adjusters, my offset is -35 and can't rember if I got 9.5 or 10 " wide !! I used to have 275/30/19 which in my opinion is the perfect size tire back there!!!

Ok so I spoke to the manufacturer today..He seems to think my issue would be with the front calipers on the W210 AMG model...He says"your front calipers are huge"..He changed his tune from previous and now says he don't think they will fit..I tried stanceworks and can't get an answer there..Alot of you guys have played with wheels..Gimme some more opinions..Can anyone say confidently that they will fit?..Some people have said probably not,,but then I see old threads with W210s running low offset wide wheels..Again I'm lowered on H&Rs with #1 pads and will be running 275/30/19 rear with whatever tire I can fit up front....I want these wheels bad..

I ran both 235/35/19 and 235/45/19 the taller tire slightly rubbed when hitting a bump and having the wheel completly turned simultaneously ,but my car was really low !!! When I went up to the next spring pad no probs at all!! IMHO opinion I think a 235/35/19 with the 30mm offset is nicest!!!
