19" wheels for E55 - pics?
I am looking for photos of E55s with 19" wheels, both W210 and W211. I looked through the E55 photo gallery and wasn't able to find many with 19" wheels. Could you big wheel owners please post some pics for me to help with the decision 
Thanks
Thanks

I was wondering how your ride feels with the 19" rims.
Is it rougher than the original 18" rims?

The car has been lowered by my dealers service department using DAS. (The MB service program that runs on the laptops they plug into your car for diagnostics)

Edit: sorry I didn't answer your question, this is the limit of the electronic adjustment without a lowering module. You can also lower by moving the position of the wheel position sensors. There is a thread on the board covering this. A word of warning though, my car rubs the front whilst turning and hitting a bump e.g. when entering a petrol station, so I will be raising it slightly.

If the Moda front wheels is 19X8 et35 double check for rubbing. I changed from OEM 18X8 et31 to 18X8 et35 and some tires with square shoulder rub even if the same US OEM size of 245/40/18. I could not run my Nitto 555 up front due to the wide tire shoulder. Dunlop 9000 fit with a 'hairs' worth of space.

Dont forget to put 5 of the OEM ball seats in your trunk for the spare. I am suprised the the rear need more fender rolling. If it is 19X9 et35 it seems that 285 width should have been fine.
