19" wheels

Hi, I have a 98 e320 with 18"amg wheels and was wondering if I put 19" wheels on the car, will I have a problem with rubbing when turning? I here different opinions on this. When I bought these from Tirerack, they said that the 18" may rub. Any opinions?

Go with 19"s. For the tires you'll need 245/35/19F and 275/30/R. Definitely no rubbing on these just make sure you get the correct width and et on the wheels when you get them. Also call Peter @ www.wheelexpert.com and he can help you out!

No fender rolling needed at all on this setup. If i were to have used a 285's on the rear then i might have to roll my fenders even more. My fender is already rolled when it came from the factory.
