If you choose the MMR get 20" wheels. If your only choice is 19" wheels then 166s.

The correct tire size to get when upsizing to 20" wheels are 245/30/20 and 275/25/20 or 285/25/20. This will keep the rolling diameter the same as the stock 124 wheels. Most people are afraid to use this tire configuration and instead they use 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 or 285/30/20. With this tire configuration you're rolling diameter is 4% and 3.6% bigger, front and back. Depending on what the offsets are on the wheels, you may or may not rub.
