Tire size question for W211 sedan
Hi guys,
I tried to ask this in the w211 forum but I didnt get a response. Hoping I will have a better chance over here!
Been a reader for quite some time now but I haven't really posted much at all. I was hoping to find an answer using the search function, but didn't find anything in regards to tires for 19x8.5 on all 4 wheels.
Here's the first of two questions. I'm considering purchasing some 19x8.5 +38 offset wheels from Velocity Motoring. The owner (I met at our local golf course) recommended that I get 245/35/19 all around since he does not offer a staggered setup.
I just wanted to confirm with you guys before I order my x-mas gift to myself this year if that tire size is alright to run in all four corners.
Currently I'm lowered on H&R sport springs and am sitting on the SL55's (20 spoke) 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 with 245/40/18 front and 275/35/18 in the rear. I'm just curious as to what your thoughts are about running a 35 profile in the rear instead of the 30 for the rear.
Secondly do you think I will need to order some H&R spacers to compensate for the higher wheel offset of +38 compared to the SL55's +30/+31 offset regardless of the wheel diameter?
TYIA!
