Going wide in the back.
I'm thinking of getting some rims but they only come in 19x11 for the rear. They go up to a +50 offset though so I don't know if they will work. Has anyone in here gone past a 10" rear?
Here's the options:
19x8.5 in either +40 or +45
19x11 in either +45 or +50
I'm not worried about having to roll fenders or anything. I'm going to lower on coils and use Eibach sways.

they wont work. U need +45 for the fronts if your gonna lower and +50 on 10" to go lower. 11" wont make it w stock ride height even at +55, UNLESS u did a super stretch but only at ride height, and thats a guess on my part. If your gonna go low 8.5 and 9.5 is easiest to deal with, a 10" rear like I said has to be a high offset. It also matters w diameter, 18,19,20 all need their certain profiles to clear. I do like the wheels tho, very classy. If you really like them you could run a spacer out back or fatter tire. I didnt see specs but if they are porsche spec wheels they really should be hub centric if your gonna throw them on a MB. I have a set of euro 63 that are similar and I love them, have them on now actually. They also make a similar wheel thats a flush face wheel, look around, they come in 9.5 and 10" rear I beleive w high offsets

Thanks for the info and advice. The site has them listed as hubcentric for MB and somehow made to clear. There are a couple of sets of wheel designs that I really like and I'm going for the concave fit. Then I'm going to flush them to the top of the tire so I can still get some movement in the suspension and still be bearable to drive. 18's might work better with more tire and still 10" in the rear. I'm still doing a lot of research.

you could do 18s and 19s will work just the same, only difference would be profile in tires, 40/35 for 18s and 35/30 for 19s. Look around for some wheels you like that have higher offsets, if your gonna lower the car u will need them to have travel and not rub. Post the links and i'll let you know what will work and wont. The other thing like I said is you can get 4 same size and run fatter tires or a small spacer giving you the wide look. You can def run up to a 10" rear, just remember u need over +50 to do so without stretching ALOT of tire. The amg reps and euro 26/63 and alot of others are like 42-45 up front and 46-50 ish out back, plenty to clear with normal tires on a drop. You can honestly fit just about anything other than a 11" rear if your willing to stretch the hell out of your tires, but theres a point of looking good and riding good, its all different depending on who you are.......
