Will 19x8.5 +30F / 19.9.5 +40R fit on 03 CLS

I think I'm about to pull the trigger on the EuroTek U03 and I wanted to make sure they will fit on my car. What tire size will I have to run and what fender mods will I have to do to make them fit? I am currently on stock height and will be buying coilovers as well at the same time. Looking for entry level coilovers ($600-$700 dollar range), but willing to spend a bit more if its worth it and will benefit me when it comes to fitting my rims (if coilovers include tophats with camber adjustments). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

not sure about the clearance from the strut tower to the wheel. those offsets are high for a wide(r) wheel. usually the wider the wheel the lower the offset you want, its odd that the 8.5 wheel has a lower offset than the wider. you may need to run spacers.

right now im on 19x9 +24, fenders are rolled and slight pull and running camber. youll want to stretch your tires a little as well if you want to have a nice stance

Thanks for your input. I made a typo. The fronts are a 35 offset.

19 x 8.5 +35 F
19 x 9.5 +40 R

They also offer a lower offset option (I believe a +15 offset), but I thought it be harder for us to fit lower offset wheels. I'm hoping to do minimal fender (hopefully just fender rolling).

Why would you add a spacer? That would lower the offset and our cars cannot run low offset wheels.

who says our cars cannot run low offset wheels. 'low' is such a non specific number.

im on 19x9 +24, my fronts stick out 17mm past his, and my rears are 10mm past his and although i do run camber, my wheels dont stick out past the fenders.

so after he gets his suspension and alignment right, he may want spacers if he wants, depending on what look hes going after

well lower wheels. I rub with 18x8 +35 in the front already.

But if OP wants to rub negative camber, stretched tires and some fender work then it will fit.

stop being wimps, as long as your fenders are rolled a little rubbing wont do anything but make noise.
