I have 19" Brabus monobloc VI wheels that are being added to my wife's brand new E500 tomorrow. Question is, has any one of you gone with 245/40 R19 front and 275/35 R19 rear instead of 245/35 R19 front and 275/30 R19 rear? I want the "higher" tire size so that the wheels have more "rubber" between wheel/ground. You know, wife's driving this one.

I welcome any suggestions!

Sorry, I'm no help. I just went to Discount Tire's website, and they list optional wheel sizes of 19" as well as 20" for your model...but they don't list any optional tire sizes!! :?:

Thanks for the info Scoop, I also did some checking around and finally went with a Brabus recomendation that the car should go with 19" wheels and 245/40 F and 275/35 Rears! The car actually looks fantastic and the tires by no means look too large.

Thanks again for taking the time to help me out.
