What is Max Wheel and Tire Size for C55?

I just put 19x8.5 235/35 fronts and 19x9.5 265/30 rears on my C55 without any rubbing issues in the front but the rears required 1/8 spacers and a little Shaving of the inner fender walls.

What is the maximum wheel size and tire size I can put on the 2006 C55 without rolling the fenders?

I did a search on Both this forum AND benzworld but did not find any clear answers.

I would like to put 19x9 255/35 fronts and 19x10 295/30 rears. Is this possible? If not what about 19x8.5 245/35 fronts and 19x9.5 275/30 rears?

My current 265/30 tires look too narrow on the 19x9.5 rims as the rim of the wheel sticks out past the rubber which does not look good.

depends on the weather
let's see here ... you installed 265's and had to roll or"shave" the fenders to avoid rubbing and now your want wider without having to perform the same action. It sounds to me like you have already found the limits
