C32 AMG
Are they trying to sell me?? Please help me out!!
Alright I called up this place for a set of wheels. They are a new wheel on the market. They have one pair left that will fit my car. I have a 2003 C32 AMG. These wheels are black. They are saying I can run a 19x8.5 in the front with a 225/35/19 front with a 35 offset and the rear I would run a 19x10 with a 40 offset. The guy told me it will rub to a minimum if I go with a 255/30/19 tire and I need to dremel the plastic part where it will rub. I can get wheels and tires for about $2000. What should i do... IS IT WORTH IT OR NOT?

Is it worth grinding down a portion of your fender?? If thats the question then I think so as long as it's done properly. It doesn't harm a thing.
If your wondering if the price is worth it then sure depending on many of the wheel and tire specifics. I mean they may just be worth $2000.00 right?

depends on the weather
the guy doesn't know what he is talking about .....
#1.) 225/35-19 does not have the proper load capacity for your car
#2.) all AMG cars have rolled fenders from the factory
#3.) cutting on the car to eliminate rubbing is just idiotic
