255/285 19 on 211 sport
Assuming my rims bolt up without drama...
I would like to go 255/36-19 and 285/30-19 for a bit more protection to the rims as well as a bit more aggressive look.
rims are 19x8 +31 front and 19X9 +37 rear
who has done this and were your offsets and rims sizes on the e500
I wish the rims were 8.5 and 10 but if I can reuse these old rims for no, It would be nice

i had 285/30/19 on the rears of my old 211 (non-sport) on 19*9.5. was running 245 in the front. no problems @ all and they looked great. the fronts tires did'nt look like they had too much leeway though

picked up the car last night. very happy with car.
bolted up the rims...no problems. good clearance.
really need wider tires for the front.
no problems using 14mm conical bolts bought from a local auto supplier for $35.
pics to come

just sent you a pm..
for the pics of your setup. Are you lowered at all and there's no rubbing?
This is my choice when I get my TS6 wheels. 8.5/10 with 255/285. Just want to know that it will work on my lowered car.

my offsets are +31 front(8 inch rim) and +37 rear (9 inch rim).
I am also running the 3mm hubcentric spacers (from a c32) both front and rear...so I think my offsets are +28 and +34 net.
my car is not lowered and I have no rubbing at all.
I dont think your wider rims will be that much of an issue...with the correct offsets.
