Not a chance you'll get that to fit up front.

19x9 +40 on a 245/35/19 is the maximum fitment you can run on the front.

You can go wider if you so chose to stretch tires, or dial in front camber adjustment.

But, a 265/275 up front is not happening.

That being said, even a 275/30/19 on a 19x9.5 +45 may rub in the rear. Sidewalls usually too square on a 9.5.

This is the type of sh*t we don't see enough of on here. Bravo.

I just snagged the Vossen VSF-1 rims. They are 20x8.5 +44 and 20x10 +55.

My problem is now looking for a rear tire that will fit. The Nitto Invo 275/25/20s fit but the load rating is below manufacturer spec and the tire place says they can't legally put them on.

Will 285/25/20s fit? I could get some Michelin Pilot Super Sports then.

If not, any tire suggestions? I'm not lowered at all and just don't want to rub.

Thanks in advance!

Thx , red wheels are not for everyone .. I was first debating on going brushed gold instead of brushed red but I'm glad I went brushed red. It's bold & the brushed finish under the red clear coat has a lot of depth.

Roswell

20x10 +55 with 285/25/20 should fit no problem. I believe many members ran this set-up.

Those are gonna look good.
Can't wait to see pics

Man... The red looks incredible. Looks amazing on white.
You've got one of the nicest setups I've seen

HI guys, please some advice. I'm ordering a set of 18 to be used with a Hoosier R7 315/30-18 the tread is 11.8, sec width 12.5 and dia. 25.6. The manufacturer recommend a 18 x 11.5 with 43 offset. I explain them that I have the HMS fenders that gives me 35-40mm more room.

Mort

Mario I think you need an ET ~ +33.

An ET +23 will be very flush with the flare lip on the right side (less on the left by about 3mm on my car). Depending on the tire width, once mounted on the wheel and your camber setting, it will likely rub the lip. This is how close my rear is to the lip and the face of the wheel is almost flush with the outer face of the flare lip, maybe in 2mm. You will need a slightly stretched tire to fit without rubbing.

An ET +43 will be about 20mm in from the lip but might rub on the inside on the shock or connection block for the fuel system under the fender liner on the right rear.
This is a inset of about 189.1mm while the stock wheel has an inset of about 168.3mm. You can check your stock wheel/tire to shock distance to see if you have 21mm of clearance before you rub on the fender liner or shock by fitting the stock wheel and measuring to those two points.

Try this converter to compare different wheel sizes and offsets.

An ET of +33 splits the difference and will hopefully have you safe on both sides of the tire while allowing you to adjust camber for maximum traction.

marioflex

that's my concern. I gave them the measurements HMS recommends with the 19 Jade wheels and they came up with this offset.
HMS use 19 x 10 +25 with a 285/30-19 tire.

Mort

Here is a link to the fitment calculator for the 285/30-19 on a 19x10 ET+25 and your proposed tire/wheel of 315/30-18 on a 18x11.5 ET+43. It shows the proposed wheel pokes 103.1mm vs the HMS wheel which pokes 102mm but is inset 189.1mm vs 152mm for the HMS wheel because the extra width of the wheel is almost all to the inside of the fender well.

My older wheels are 19x10 ET 52 and they are inset 179mm and do not rub on the inside. I am not sure they had 10mm to go before they rub on the inside. I would do some careful measurements before getting those wheels with a +43 offset.

Thanks Mort!!

Anyone have an idea of what the OEM AMG 18" 5-twin-Spoke Aluminum wheels sell for these days?

Patel

There is about 5 threads alone between w204 specific and classified with selling and sold. Some research will help you out in regards to condition and value. Simple search will do, or click around?

Serzhant

Maybe your google-fu is better than mine but

https://www.google.com/search?q=5-tw...wheels&start=0

Turns up nothing about price and I've searched all the classifieds on this forum as well as the W204 specific. They're not the stock 18" wheels, they're the 5 twin spoke, otherwise yes, "simple search will do".

Patel

Yep if nothing turns up then you're going to have to gauge off other sale threads of OEM rims in the same size / offset. If yours are more rare or something like monoblocks price accordingly but remember you're going to have to stay competitive and stay realistic with price with OEM alloys

Front: 19x8.5 45mm
Rear: 19x9.5 48mm

how would that look on a c63 coupe?

Phil Chow

Would look fine. Be relatively flush.

JPetros2008

Thank you!

Thinking about getting the Verde Axis, but apparently the valve stems hit the brake calipers. I'm assuming I have a little room to go out further in the front (please correct me if I'm wrong). Do you think running a little spacer would help in that regard?

Mort

I have front wheels in a 19 x 8.5 ET 44. When running 235/35 19 MPSS I was able to run 13 mm spacers on my 2012. With a 15mm spacer the tire rubbed the fender lip a bit. The car is lowered on KWV3.
