Offsets for W211
Lorinser's TUV approved fitment is:
9.0x19 ET31 (245/35R19) Front
10x19 ET31 (275/30R19) Rear
This will get you flush with the fenders. If you oversize the tires by running 265/35 & 295/30 most likely you will rub all over the place, especially while turning. The tires in the pics below are Michelin Pilot Sport PS2.

thanks but if i only wanted to barely increase the rear tire width and keep front tire width stock, i wouldn't even bother with buying new rims as 275's will fit fine on oem 9" rims. i know what the recommended tire sizes are and i know that people have gone 285 and even 295 without rubbing so that's what i'm looking for and i need to know the offset to run with those.
will the et31 offset still work with this wide of a tire? i'm getting mixed info from dealers and want to know from someone that has run the wider tires.

You will need a higher offset than what I posted earlier for sure. I would have your fenders rolled first, then take measurements. To go with something that wide you may even need to have some custom shaving or cutting done. The only way to be sure is to test fit. Also check with the wheels turned at full crank as well. If you hit a bump during a turn it wouldn't be good to have the front tire make contact with the fender and tear it.
