Need Fitment Advice ASAP! Thank you!

Hey

I got a C43 AMG with C32 brakes on the front.

You think 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 ET 29 mm front and ET 34 mm Rear will fit?

I realize It might rub a little because its really aggressive for the front, but I don't want it to be UN bearable. Fenders are already rolled.

Any help is appreciated!

depends on the weather
not enough information to answer that question ... the specs are close enough to work but, that alone does not offer any insight to the brake clearance of the wheel in quesiton ... what wheel

and just so you know all AMG cars have rolled fenders from the factory

Just be careful with DCR wheels. They can be dangerous to use. There is actually a class action suit being formed.
