Is 9" wide on front axle of W209 doable?

I'm planning to purchase a set of rims with 19x9 (ET 35) in front. I tried to search if someone has done this before but it seems like I will be the first to try? Thanks in advance

It certainly is doable, but you have to factor in tire size, wheel backspacing, and your particular suspension settings.
