There's always gonna be a troll.. Dub your opinions are useless. OP this topic has been discussed plenty of times, if you run a search you will find all the info you need. offset/tire/wheel size, etc

The rims are a personal touch to anyone, I don't want to rehash this again and again but who can tell me suggested tire widths/height for 20" wheels that will ride great?
Thanks.

One thing to take into consideration is not just the ride but also the noise factor as well as safety. 20's will significanly increase road noise, even over a 19''. Going a bigger rim you give up a lot for really just aesthetics. Also think about the quality of roads in your area. The more tire you have the less prone to puncture and blow outs, rim damage from road hazards. I had low profile tires on another car and lost control cause I blew a front tire on a pot hole and totaled my car which would not have happened had I had a little more rubber. If it's a daily driver go a 19, if its a cruiser weekend car, throw whatever you like. Just realize there is a price to pay but it's good to know all the details before you dive in.

Loser inspired LED lights? Are those not the e63 style led lights?


The result of hating another persons taste in car modifications is not exactly jealousy..But a weakness that requires someone to knock another down a notch.

Quit the hate or move along.

Nice car man!

R U pon 19's, if so what size and offset?
Thank you.

I had 20's on the W211, my 2010 5Series, and 2013 Porsche 911S. All look just right. I thought 19" will look too small on the W212. But I was worry about the bad road conditions in Chicago (Cracked/bent 2 sets of wheels in the past), I decided to go with 19". Actually doesn't look too bad when lowered. I shall post some pictures later.

Your all ****in homos

ElisTwoCents

I went with 19s, I'm too worried about the roads around here....Honestly, I blew a 40 series tire on a pothole 4 blocks from the house...ripped the Conti sidewall (pinched) and ruined the tire so going to the 35 series tire is gonna be pushing it enough for a daily driver around here

Can anyone help, I just got some 20" vossen vfs2. I got a e350 4matic and I know you can run staggered on a all wheel drive. But I don't know what tires I need to run safe, my front are 9" and rear are 10.5" I think the offset is +40. Please help me I'm new and I went to a tire shop they said these rims won't work.

Peachy

Can you post a picture of your car? I wanna see how nice it is.

Edit: nevermind, didn't realize how long ago that was posted

blegthbloo

235/35/20 up front and 275/30/20 in the rear. I have the same type of wheels and those tires have the same outer diameter (which is the important part) of like 26.5" or so. Either way, they will be the same, off by .1" at most.

Paullo

DEFENETLY go Guetto and Stick some 20' in your friend W212 , it will look awesome! don't mind what anyone thinks! its her car she pays for it, she has the right to put the car the way that she like!
i have a White W212 ill be throwing some great 20 shoes on it! cheersss

24mac2010

Thank!! I have 285/25 Michelin tires that were mounted on the rear, and I just need 235/35front to make it work it will also be .1".thank you for the reply, I didn't know if the rims would or or I would just have to end up selling them. do you by any chance have a photo of your car? Would love to see it.

blegthbloo

I have pictures around here, and in my gallery. But I think mine are a bit more aggressive than yours... I have +32 in the rear and +42 up front (or vice versa)

Becksan

Yours are most likely ET39 up front and ET42 rear with the 9" & 10.5". I'm on coilovers though, so a lot lower than stock.

24mac2010

That's super similar that I'm going for! Just got the 2014 tail lights, but mines light grey with pano roof and carbon fiber lip/ trunk spoiler. Still need to tint it tho. Your ride looks slick&sick. I don't know what ET they are guy was selling them for $1000 with Michilen tires he didn't know what the offset they were. I might need to roll the fenders a little.

24mac2010

What coilovers are you using ? I want to lower the car as well, maybe an inch lower. Still need to search what I can use to make it happen.

Becksan

thanks! White is PITA to keep clean, but looks so good when newly washed!

damn that's cheap! They are straight and no cracks? Check the inside of the wheel, it should tell you the size and ET of the wheel. I have a bit of rubbing, but not enough to damage anything, so I won't deal with rolling the fenders at this point. I have BC Racing coilovers on mine. Sadly they don't support the 4 Matic yet. Not sure if H&R have a set supporting the 4 Matic, but their springs are awesome, have them on my C350.

24mac2010

Yep no cracks all nice clean and straight, except for a little scratch. They were off a RWD e63s wagon with 4,000 miles on the wheels. The car got sold and he had to sell them for no use, so I couldn't just let the wheels go for a price like that.so now I was trying to figure out how I can use them on my ride. I have a 2011 c350 and switching to 2012 e350 and resently got a 2013 s4.

I've been doing research for sometime and was actually going to do the same set-up as you as far as wheel sizes. I'm in the middle of my air suspension install, and was wondering how low can you "pancake" or go "all the way down? I may be back stepping away from 20s and considering 19s again because I want my car maybe an inch off the ground in park.

How low can you go when parked on 20s?
Thanks, bud.

makovich1984

How was the ride quality on 20s? I'm thinking about getting 20s for my 2014 E350. Thoughts?

LILBENZ230

My thoughts on that are simple - don't

The W212 Sport line cars with 18" wheels are prone to rim damage and lots of members complain about harsh rides on this factory setup.

I had a 2016 E350 with factory AMG 18s on a staggered setup and I cannot imagine it on 20s. It would have been awful.

skidaddyoo

How about a good pic when you upgrade the wheels and who did the work? I have a 2013 E-350 sedan and want to upgrade from 17” to 19” not staggered. Btw, I live in Fairfield and get my maintenance done by StarTech in Vacaville.

the question is, do you want to LOOK at your car, or do you want to DRIVE IT on real world streets ?
