For 19x8.5, you have 1 choice: 235/35/19. Probably you are going to have 19x9.5 at the rear, then the most common size is 265/30/19.

Narrow??? W203 is a small car, 265s are "fat" tires!!! 265 is fine. If you're getting 8.5 in the front, then 9.5 should be for the rear. If you're getting 8 in the front, then it will be 9 at the rear.

C32's fenders are supposed to be pre-rolled in the factory. There shouldnt be any rubbing problem IF you have the correct offset/fitment.

hmm... oops... i was thinkin about the 30... i thought 30 is the width of the tire and 265 is how thick the tires are.
