pulling to the right on 19"s?

Does anyone have any pulling issues with 19" wheels?

Did you need to do a realignment?

What kind of tires are you running?

I think the E-Class (W211) in general has a problem pulling to the right. Doing a plus size upgrade from 18's to 19's should not change how the car rides. I have heard that there is a small drift in some cars and if you lower your car it will drift even harder. Mine has 19's and seems fine so far.

Tires are 245x35x19 in the front and 275x30x19 in the rear.

You can even try fitiing 20" with 245/30-20 and 285/25-20

I pull to the right a little bit, sometimes to the left. This is a very common benz problem, as my friend with an sl500's car curves too.

For my car it happened when I changed the wheels, so it is my fault.

I agree. Every Mercedes I have owned has pulled top the right a little. Larger and wider wheels don't help and sometimes make these annoyances worse.

I didn't notice any additional pulling when I went to 19's, however, I did notice some additional road feel especially around 80 mph.

Bad idea. I have the same set up as you said and the bolt gets in the way. the only way to avoid the bolt without grinding it down would be runnin a 245/30/20 or even an 255/30/20. I am running the 245/35/20 and the bolt gets in the way. Well not anymore cause now there is a line where the bolt was but when I first got the tires, the bolt grinded into the tires for about 200 miles.

This is kind of bizarre. My car pulls to the right slightly and intermittently. Normal?
