Hmmmmm. What to do? Wheel = Check, Tires = ?
Okay dudes, so I am getting new Hartmann 19" X 8.5' wheels (ET35). The salesrep at Achtuning said I can either go with the factory 255/35's or he would recommend 245/35's because I am pretty low on my KW coils, and the 245/35's would be safer so I don't rub. Just looking for some confirmation on this.
What do you all think 245s or 255s?
BTW, I am getting the S8 reps (Hartmann's HS8 - 454's)
Here's a pic of my car, I am not rediciously low...Would rubbing even be an issue?

From looking at your picture, it does not appear rubbing would be an issue with the few mm difference in tire diameter.
But keep in mind, the 245/35 is the closest you can get in diameter to your stock 18" wheels. I've used both sizes..the 255 are obviously a bit more comfortable to ride on.
