What offsets?

If the offsets are 30mm, your new fronts will definitely fit. Your new rears are just slightly wider than the widest wheels/tires available from MB, but that doesn't mean they won't work.

The following wheels sizes are approved by MB/AMG

8.5jx19ET30 with 245/35R19 front or rear
9.5jx19ET31 with 275/30R18 rear only

thanks Brian... I contacted Brabus and they told they should work no problem, although I may need to roll the fenders if the tires rub, so we'll see. I believe these wheels have a 35 or 38 mm offset, but I'm not sure.

Re: bought 19s for e320 will they work w/o suspension mods

Hi Brian

I actually have 20 inch lowenharts for my car and they fit fine. I actually might have to lower my car to get the "proper look".

I also got a staggered set

Cant remember at the moment what sizes though. If you would like to view my car its in the galleries under the 211 folder under the villaluz folder.

Thanks and have fun driving.

Thanks
arvin

those look really cool, you shuould definately lower it, but be extremely careful bcs lowering can cause a lot of problems with alignment, steering, etc... so make sure you find someone who knows what they are doing or ask the dealership

your ride

I noticed your ride was lowered.

What did you use for yours and how different does your ride feel?
