I wish I had all the answers (offset, etc) but I don't... MBWerks.com in San Diego set them up for me. What I do know is that they're 19x8.5 and 19x10 w/ Michelin PS2 245/35-19 275/30-19. Ride quality isn't really effected. The car does seem to handle a bit better.

You are a master of understatement! White E55, no badges... very classy and incognito! You certainly have no self esteem issues - congratulations.

ChicagoE55,

Looks nice!

It's kind of funny because even though those wheels are 19" your PS 2's making them look like 18"s. lol

Nice setup up though! I've got the same wheels!

The rear height looks fine with the 295/30/19 PS2, but the Front is a bit too high IMO. You could do the washers on the front sensors - 4 mm will be enough if you are not doing the rear. Front will drop 1/2" /13mm with 4mm washers.
What width are your tires and what offset? I am also considring the 295/30's.

thanks again,
