Wheely important question ;)

Guys, thinking about ditching my 20 inch rims and going for a set of 19 inch.

Just wondering what width, offset and tyre size combos you guys on 19 inch wheels run? 2003 W211 E55

TIA

I've been running 19" on my E63 for years, and I think 19" is the optimal size, for ride comfort and sportiness. I still have decent side wall height to absorb impacts from the road.
I have run a 19 x 8.5 (F) 35 offset on 245/35-19 and 19 x 9.5 (R) 42 offset 275/30-19. But my latest wheels, Vertini designed a custom offset because of the concave nature of their wheels, so I don't really know the offset of the wheels pictured below.

thanks for that info. i recently suffered a blow out of a rear tyre and 20 inch are not cheap for a decent tyre. i don't expect 19 inch to be either, but, i live in a country area with rougher roads so the bigger sidewalls will help for sure.
