Luke: Buying tires soon for 19" Brabus Rims...
Hi,
I'm going to buy new tires soon for my 04 CLK-55. I recently upgraded my 18" Brabus wheels to 19". I got a great deal on them and they came off an E-55. They already had tires on them but just barely fit only becasue they are at less than 50% tread.
Current tire sizes are in my signature below. The rear ones seem to be OK, but the front ones have about a centimeter clearance from the coil spring bracket (up top) and rub very slightly when I turn the wheels sharply in either direction. So what size tires do I need to buy in order for them to fit more adequately?
Thanks in advance.

With the Lorinser wheels that are 8.5x19 and 9.5x19 on an `04 CLK our German TÜV approved tire fitments are 235/35R19 front and 255/30R19 rear. Brabus is most likely the same. You can always give Brabus USA a call to make sure if you are uncertain.

ya sorry for the typo guys lol. i sent an email to walter at Brabus USA so hopefully hell get back to me. i have a feeling the 225 and 255 widths are going to be the most consistent and should alleviate some of my ABS and tramlining woes. we shall see though...
