Hi everyone, I was just wondering what the widest rim you have heard going on the front of our W219's?

I know the norm is 9 or 9.5" wide, however, im curious to know if 10.5 wide will fit?

Any idea what offsets are usually ran with the 9s or 9.5s? Anyone know what I would need to run if I ran 10.5?

Thank you for any help...want to order my wheels asap

i ran 12" for a day lol

And sorry guys I meant at the front specifically...I woul like to run 10.5 inch wide front and back. Wondering if anyone has ran that size on the front?

djrabbi

10.5 you probably can but need to run a skinny tire... I wouldn't do it.

Most people run a 20x9.5 Front 255/30 tire and 20x11 in the rear with a 305/25 tire. Looks good and isnt a rubber band like you may think.

he said fronts are 10.5 you Canadian

for 20 x 9" fronts on the CLS the typical offset is 25-27. Personally, I doubt the 20 x 10.5" would work, even if you ran a thinner tire. If you really look at how the wheel itself moves in the wheel well, there is already very minimal clearance with the 9". Maybe if you ran a 19" you would have better luck with the 10.5"

Looked into this further today...

Managed to get hold of a 10.5 x 20 et 42 rim...with a 12-15mm spacer, it clears the inner bar that goes from the hub to the upper ball joint.

It is this bar that is the sole problem for going for wide rims! If it wasnt there, you would have been able to run 12-13" wide rims on the front if you wanted!

Bringing the 10.5 down to around ET25, it was around 1" outside the arch...I dont mind flaring the arches ever so slightly, but not that much!!

Looks like ill have to go the skinny route of 9-9.5 on the front which is a MASSIVE let down in my opinion...I had 9's on the front of my Ford Focus RS!!

Ill actually be running skinnier tyres than most do as I prefer a stretched look and means I can mess about with 'poke', ill be running 235/35 on the front and 275/35 or 30 on the back

I dont drive the car like an animal so dont need huge tyres

I'm running 20 by 9.5 fr and 20 by 11.5 rear custom made aggressive offset no problems light touch in front on u turn but nothing serious n no damage have had it like this for 2 years....previous set was 20x9 and 20x10.5 it wasn't pushed out with the body enough....

UDWANIT2

10.5 front can't make u turns have to remove fender liners....n will rub the body if lowered ...

but will look like stretch n Poke....sticking out....cant go bigger tire than 265 front on a very wide stretch....hope that helps

i have been trying don't want the headaches so i bought a GL and going 11.5 all around

teamspb

Yeah it looks like ill be going 9 or 9.5 on the front and space them out until I'm happy. Ill probably roll the arches to get some real stance on the go!

does anybody know where i can purchase these from in the uk as i am having trouble finding them...
Thanks guys and gals.

Sorry have to bring this thread up from the dead guys. I have 20x10 ET20 front and 20x11 ET53 rear and want to know how will the fitment be for the fronts? And what tire size should I be running on the front 255/30/20 or 265/30/20? Any possibility to increase sidewall and go 255/35/20 or 265/35/20?
For the rear i was thinking of running 30mm spacers to bring the rear offset down from ET53 to ET23. And then run a 305/25/20 or possibly 315/25/20? If i run a 35 series tire in the front then Im going to have to run 30 series in the back so in that case either 305/30/20 and 315/30/20.

what direction to go in??

What offset would be best for this set up if you know? I'd like to do the same sizes but unsure of the offsets
