Confirming rim sizes
I have a w212 E63 wagon, and wonder what width wheels and offsets fit the car.
The dealer told me the rears are 9.5 inches wide and ET 52, and the fronts are 9" and ET 37.
In periodically reading the MB World classifieds, I occasionally see a staggered set, but not with these ETs.
My goal is to have a set of summer wheels and a set for winter.
I'd use the original set for the summer set.
I assume I can safely go 1/2 inch skinny and run 9" in the rear, what I don't know is what ET would work?
Is there a table of rim sizes per model? Many of the posts list the model the rims are coming off, but not the full set of measurements.

Looking for a set of Winter rims.
Took the snows off today and still trying to figure out what ET I can run for winter wheels. My wheels that came with the car are staggered with ET37 in the front and ET52 in the back. Must I run ET52 in the rear? Has anyone that has ET52's gone smaller? If so, what was the result?

Play arround with different setups on this site to find out what works. You can safely go 10 mm wider (wheels sticking out) than stock without rubbing.
