I have ordered some 19/8.5 front and 19/9.5 rear wheels for my 03/e55,i want to know which is the best tire combination to use with these size tires,without me experiencing any rubbing or rear end wiggle.

E55 KEV

245/35/19 front
275/30/19 rear

probably depending on offset you could also do:

255/35/19
285/30/19

What type of wheels did you order? The fitment depends heavily on the offset. When I first recieved my Iforged wheels, the rears were 19x10 with 275/30/19, but they rubbed on every small bump due to them sending the wrong offset. I had to send them back to have the correct offset built and the ones I have now fit perfectly with no issues.
Personally, I would not run anything less than a 245/35/19 and 275/30/19. Assuming the offset is correct, these are the ideal sizes that everyone seems to run with no issues. Seems that the 295 width is the one that rubs on the inside rear.

What offset on a wheel would be needed to 255/19 front and 285/rear.

Front: ET30 to ET35, Rear ET38 to 39.

With ET38 you will have only 3mm gap between the tire and the fender on full compression. (to test, you drive one rear wheel up a tall curb and after the car has levelled off, your rear wheel will be right up to the rim. Take two or three credit cards and move them around the tire in the gap between the fender.
I have the ET35/255 and ET38/285 set up.
