03 CL600 wheel question

I am looking to replace the stock wheels on my CL600 sport. Are 19in wheels the best choice to maintain good ride quality? If I go with 19in wheel, what would be the best widths for the front and back? I am considering the Lorinser LM-6 and the more conservative looking O.Z. Classe wheels. The LM-6's are 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 wide while the O.Z.'s are 19x8 and 19x9 with a deeper lip rear wheel. Also what size Michelin sports should I use? Thanks in advance. BTW this is a great forums board!

depends on the weather
tire sizes to use

front or all our corners = 245/40-19
rear only = 275/35-19R

and the 8.5/9.5 or 8/9 combo will work fine providing you use the correct offsets

you can find both wheel and tire options here

I guess Luke has answered the sizing part. As for the choosing part, please feel free to visit my site and see if you can find anything attractive there......

I have decided to go with the LM-6 wheels, 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 back. My question now is should I go with the Michelin Pilot Sports or the Pirelli PZero's? Also will 245/35/19's work on the front or does it have to be 245/40/19. Thanks.
