Will this set up fit on the W209???

235/35/19 front, 265/20/19 in rear. Front wheels are 19x8.5 and the rear are 19x10. Does anyone know if this will fit, and is it ok if i lower my car 1.5 inches. Will i rub, or do i just need to roll and shave my fenders. Any input...Thanks

265/20/19, I hope that is a typo, did you mean 265/30/19???

It also depends on the tire you choose. Some sidewalls are more rounded, some are more squared. And if its a CLK500, there's a small chance that you MIGHT have a problem, if its a CLK55, you should be fine.

Harris, i am getting these. What do you think. The seller has a 3 inch drop which he rubs in the front of the car. I on the other hand will only have like a 1.5 drop with these rims. Will I be ok??? or will i need to do fender modification. Is the rear size ok for the new W209??? thanks harris!!!!!
