es nice car but i'm not planning to lower the car if i get 19" and the ones that i'm gettin are front 19/8 rear 19/9 you have it 19/10
plus you lowered the car. So i think i'm ok to go with 19 on my E430. And also did you have any problems in front and what size tres you put on those wheels.

Hey Cilky,
Did you have to take off those brake calipers off for you to paint them? Also, how is the finish on the painted calipers? Can you post some closer shots of the painted calipers? Thanks...

depends on the weather
depending on the tires size and model your choose you will be ok with the 19x8 and 19x9 wheels on your car (no rubbing). The reason I make this statement is because some tires are wider than others .... the S-03 for example is extremely wide when compared to most other tires of the same size

I'll look for a good close up of my wheels later today for you! You do not have to remove them, but it helps if you want a good all over coverage. I did "Petie's" brakes in an afternoon and we didn't take his calipers off. The finish is nice and shiney, and when it gets dirty just repaint them hahahaha. If you want the good finish I'd get the folia-tec kit because it works really nice.

Yes, they will fit. But are you getting the 2/5s because of their price or because of their look? New 2/5s should be coming in a few months.

Sure, the wheels fit without modification if you use the proper tire sizes:
225/40/18
255/35/18
This is what Tire Rack lists and they don't show fitments that require mods.
Tire selection depends on you and what type you need. Your choice are basically summer tires or all-season.
As far as warranty - When you put on Aftermarket wheels and require any service related to wheels and things associated with wheels the dealer will probably not fix.
