Wow, really turned out nice! Congrats! How do you like the ride?

vic viper

Works really fine, way better than my old S204 on 20s, then again my 204 didnt have airmatic

Looks great! whats the size of rims and tires?

vic viper

8.5 and 10x20 with 235/30x20 and 285/25x20

Looks great Vic. I'm actually on the w212 platform and would like some suggestions since it's a lot more active here. Do you reckon 20*9.5 on ET45 would fit on the rear without going pass the fenders?

rustycruiser

Goddamn, that is sexy looking. I wish we got the estate in the US!

vic viper

Shouldnt be a problem, then again that depends on the tires chosen.


A friend of mine is running 20x10 ET45 with 305/25x20 slammed without issues on his W212

I'm planning to go with 285/25/20 for the rear tyres but not too sure whether I will lower the car.

vic viper

285 on a 9.5" wheel could look a bit bulky, I would go with a 10" wheel or 275 or maybe 265 tire.

Royce118

Thanks. I might probably settle with 265 since I'll be running 245 on 8.5" rims for the fronts.

That looks particularly impressive on the first photo where you can see the tyres/wheels combo really fill out the arches.

I would like to know the exact size of te 20 inch 8.5x20 and 10x20 Vossen wheels offset (ET 45-55)

vic viper

You are correct, 8,5" ET45 and 10" ET55


Using 235/30R20 and 285/25R20, no rubbing issues.

raphlou

It passes without changes??

DBOC205

Sorry if it had it been covered before, but what brand of tires did you opt for Vic? Looks very nice BTW ... and expensive

BenzoBoi

hot damn that looks good!

vic viper

Thanks!

I see u rear caps are missing I drive a 2k10 e350 and one day two weeks ago woke up and they were loose for some reason they just won't snap back in place . How did u fix urs?

swagger_jacker

2K10, sounds like the glue is coming off. I had mine come loose on my CV3's. i could tap them i hear them being loose. One day i was getting gas and decided to mess with it and it fell off in my hand. Its a backing plate that is rivited and 3m taped on. i just ordered new ones and solved that issue.

2K10w212

Nah man, the new cvts has four prongs on the back of the center cap.. Tried bending it down or up but it won't snap securely back on the wheels . Just the rears though the fronts are fine

2K10w212

And btw Diego at vossen already sent my two new ones and they are still doing the same thing

vic viper

The caps shipped with my rear wheels did not fit, not even close, due to the high ET the wheel is very thin in the centre so I had to cut the tabs on the caps to make them fit, Vossen agreed that they had shipped the wrong caps and promised new ones but I still haven't got them.

2K10w212

I'm guessing et is the same as the offset? Yea mines +44 in the front and +55 rear. After a few email with Diego at vossen he agreed that the original caps that came with the cvt the prongs are to long . He told me that they are redesigning the caps for the e class itself. . Hopefully I get mine soon as he promise that he will make sure I get the new caps . U should contact him directly Diego@vossenwheels.com
