Hi guys , I'm new at the forum , I just bought 2010 e550 coupe. Car is still at the shop. Decided tu upgrade original 18' to 20'.
I get these wheels from eBay ..

Front is 245/35/20
Rear is 275/30/20
Problem is they r sticking out of the frame and I'm worrying they will be rubbing... Car is not ready to driving it yet. What do guys think ??

What are the offsets?

Piterts

20x8.5. 35
And rear. 20x10. 35

Piterts

Guy that I did buy them from him saiys he fit them on 2 e coupes and they fit ... Don't know what to think about it. Visually they ok . Just they seems like they ll rubb

john1c

Rear is too aggressive.. Need it to be at least et 50

Piterts

Aggressive ok ?! But will I be able to driving on them ? How is the suspension ? It will be def rubbing with people on the board ??

venom_55

You will likely rub going over bumps and especially with people in the back when you go over bumps.

Are you lowered?

I received the wrong offsets +45 in the rear with 19x10 and rubbed really bad when I was lowered on Eibach. I had to remove the lowering springs and all was ok. So if you are not lowered you might be ok, but that looks really aggressive...

Can you try it and let us know, and also let the seller know if the car is drivable or not. We can only guess.

Piterts

Car is not lowered ... It looks like with these. Rims on it . But it's not

You're supposed to run 275/25/20 for tires in the rear and 245/35/20 for the tires in the front. Not 35 and 30.

Agreed +

SnakeDoctor

Yeah those offsets are not going to work out too well man. Mine are supposed to be good for mine, but I still rub on larger dips.

Need4Speed

We do plenty of the E class Sedans and Coupes

The tire sizing is all wrong though

Here is what we normally do
Front: 20x8.5 or 20x9
Rear: 20x10

245/30/20
275/30/20

This fitment works on the car no problems and we lower them as well and no rubbing

The offsets I am seeing are wrong, that's were your getting the front poking

You need to run a higher offset up front

MrH

I'm running 20 x 8.5 front (235/35/20 et 35) and 20 x 10 rear (275/30/20 et 50) with no rubbing and pretty flush fitment. Went a little above stock diameter on tire sizes to eat up the wheel gap without lowering. Car rides smooth and no issues.

Piterts

Will the tire 255/30/20 at the rear resolve the problem ???

SnakeDoctor

I am a super novice when it comes to fitment and tires, but will 255's fit on a 10" wide wheel? I mean math-wise it's about the same, but wouldn't it be stretching the tire a lot?

Need4Speed

You can do a 255/20/20 but why do that ?

that causes a stretch in the tire.


a 255 can fit a 10 " wheel but it will stretch

preferred is a 275

Piterts

The reason I'm asking is . Seller offered me replacing tire for that kind of size...

Need4Speed

so he is trying to resolve the issue by providing you a tire that will stretch?

The issue is the offsets for the wheels are aggressive for the E550 Coupe.

Did the seller inform you the fitment would be aggressive?

The tire size will not do alot for you as the offset of the wheel is low so it will still poke.

The stretch only allows for the curvature of the tire which provides additional clearance nothing more nothing less.

Do me a favor please pm me so I may see how I can guide you through this and provide a viable solution for you and the seller.

Can you post picture of your setup. I'm thinking of 20" wheel but want to keep stock spring. Most people say it doesn't look right with 20" wheel without lowering.

Piterts

So seller is taking these wheels back . It was his mistake . Thank You all for help . Especially need4speed.

Need4Speed
