19" wheels on a 2000 E430 4Matic
I'm looking at getting a set of 19" wheels for my 2000 E430 4Matic. The fronts would be 8.5" wide and the rears would be 10" wide. What size tire should I run? Thanks.

1) Are you sure you want to put 19's on a AWD car?
2) Are you sure you want to put staggered setup?
If your answer is yes to both questions, I thnink you can put 245/35/19 and 275/35/19.
However, I wont suggest this upgrade.

will it throw off the ABS/ESP? rear wheels getting more traction than the fronts?

depends on the weather
19's will work but, a staggerd setup is a bad idea because of the all-wheel drive system ..... the MB system is a viscous coupled system which will be adversely affected by a wider wheel/tire in the rear
