19" tire size on W211 E63?
Hi-
Looking at some 19x8.5 and 19x10 fitment wheels. What's the widest tires I can fit -without- rolling fenders or any rub issues? 245/35 front and 275/30 rear? This will be on Forgestar F14, concave in the rear.
Any info would be great, thanks!

Go 285/30 in the rear. You could probably get away with a 255/35 in the front as well. Really depends on the tire though, as some of them run different sidewalls (rounded, squared off)

I'm looking at Pirelli P Zero Nero M+S, Michelin Pilot Sport A/S, or Continental ExtremeContact DWS. I've never run a Continental tire before, and it seems like it's only in the past 5-6 years I've seen them around much except when budget is key, so I'm leaning away from them.

Waiting to hear back from vendor on what the standard fitment offset is. That's part of the question I suppose, if I need a non-standard offset to fit a wider tire on stock suspension/brakes/fenders.

I ran the Conti DW and they were actually a really good tire, yes they are a bit expensive. I pulled a 1.79 60 ft with them, so traction is definitely there. They lasted almost 15k miles too, which is pretty good for the rear on our cars.

I live in Seattle so usually go with the ultra high performance all season category tires for the endless rain. We'll see though, maybe I'll change it up.
All the reviews I read talked soft sidewalls - which would actually help your 60ft a bit from crumple I believe, but not great for turning

i've got a 275/35 on a 9.5" rear, and it looks a tad narrow for my taste, i'd prefer 285 on there, so on a 10 (about 25mm wider), i'd definitely go 285 at a minimum
