Need Help With Wheels and Tires

I am about to buy an 06 E55 AMG locally as a daily beater. However, the stock wheels and tires drive me nuts. The car is sorely under tired and wheeled.

Some pics of 20" look good and some look too ghetto. I think I want to go with an atermarket wheel in 19" all around staggered, in a split 5 spoke or solid 5 spoke design.

What vendors here have the best prices and would know EXACT fitment for an E55 AMG? Incurve and Vossan seem to have the design I want.

I want the tires wheels and TPMS mounted and ready to go when they get to me.

Thanks

Try an oem clk63 black series wheel in 19"..... So nice, perfect flush fit but rare.

I personally did not want 20's on mine so really went after a 19" wheel that has a larger look (no dish, spoke extending to lip)

As for mounting tires, ect...may cost a bit more to ship that way, but I did that on my other car. I got mine via Craig and the Buckhead Imports Team.

19s is the perfect size for this car in my opinion.

Yep, shoot Craig a PM (posts on here under. BI-Performance or chawkins2001). I know they are an authorized Vossen dealer, not sure on the other brands you may be considering. I wanted a one stop shop for several items on my E55.

Also, what width rim on front and back and size tires look the best for a stock suspension setup in 19"?

8.5 front with 9.5/10 rear. 245/35 and 285/30. Need to lower it though or it won't look complete.

I am not interested in lowering, basically want the correct 19" tire that will be a compromise between sidewall thickness and maintaining the stock fender gap.
