Wheel size question

Hey guys, Im about to pick up a E430 tomorrow and I was looking at some wheels. I was wondering if wheels in these sizes would fit

19x8.5 et 39 - 225/35/19 Front
19x9.5 et 42 - 245/35/19 Rear


THanks

Hey, boostted, welcome to the forum. When you get a minute please update your profile re: car and locale.

Hopefully one of the other folks with 19s can confirm/deny, but you should have no problems on the back. The front may be tight, you may need a 5mm spacer.

If you're sourcing the wheels from a reputable source, make them put their reputation on the line and assure you of a no hassle refund or return if they don't fit. Even if someone on here says you're okay, what's the recourse if not?

Take care and enjoy the ride,
Greg

it also depends on the year/make/model of your benz... but if you have a w210 or w211... then those sizes will definitely fit...

I will update my profile as soon as I pick up the car tomorrow afternoon

As far as reputable source, I am buying them used so no return policy there, but I will be sure to test fit them before i buy them. I just wanted to see if they have a chance of even fitting so I dont have to waste my time.

I have 18's on mine and it is tight especially when you go with a wider tire as well. The question is not just will they fit but what type of effect will they have on your suspension. I'm afraid the that larger wheel/tire package will cause expensive problems down the road.
