    imho 19s are too big for a w202... you would need really low profile on them which makes them more susceptible for bent wheels in the long run...

    Compared to an 8" Monoblock, the 8.5 wheel would have 7mm less inner clearance and extend out 5mm, the rears would have 6mm less inner clearance and 6mm more outer extension compared to a 9" Monoblock.

    I am thinking you would have some rubbing issues. Additionally, 19" tires are way more expensive than 18" but hey, its all about preference. IMHO 19" wheels look too big on a W202.
