19s Question... Help!

I know nothing about wheels....

I'm planning to order Racing Hart CR multipiece 19s as soon as find out which size fits my car...

19x8 with either 45+ or 48+ offset
or
19x7.5 with the same offset...

What tires should I be putting on ?

My mods are below...

I think 19X7.5 will be wide enough.

48 offset on an 8" wide wheel isn't the same as a 48 offse on a 7.5" wheel, slightly different. I'd go with the higher offset and 7.5 inch if your worried about rubbing or dropping your car lower in the future, but all those specs you mentioned seem safe enough.

Go with 19x8 et 45
Remember the cls brakes are abit bigger. Ex try putting on a set of racing hart c-2 19" 1pc with a et 44 it will hit the caliper.
I would go with the et 45. I say a et of 48 is a bit to high.

For a TL, go with 19X8 with +48 offset and 235/35/19 rubber and you will be fine. But you may need to shave the rear fender tabs to avoid any rubbing.

Post pics when you get your wheels!
