These arrived Wednesday! Very happy with both the HRE FF wheels and the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S's.

Oh man. Those look perfect on your car. Very subtle and tasteful. Well done. I love the FF wheels from HRE. I just wish they allowed for a wider tire out back. I would like a 265 or 275.

Hello olszowa and thank you for your kind words. I definitely wouldn't have known where to start if it wasn't for all of you early pioneers who provided a lot of information on this chassis. I recall looking at photos of your estate and being intrigued of your set up (as well as many other members), and feeling jealous that we don't get the C-estate in the U.S.
I am very happy with the wheels. Manu @ Aristo Collection was great to work with.

Hello everyone, I am in need of some advice. A local dealer has provided a wheel with these specs that "should fit" for a nice 5 spoke wheel that I like.
For the front he has given me these specs:
Dimensions: 19x8.5 / 5x112 Center Bore: 66.56
Offset: 42
Abit closer to 40 offset in the front so I think this might be good.
I know I want to run 275 width tires in the rear and this is what he gave me for the wheel in the style I like
Dimensions: 19x10.5 / 5x112
Center Bore: 66.56
Offset: 38
Reading through this thread, it doesn't sound like a good fit since an offset of 50 in the rear is ideal for a 275 series tire.
How would an offset of 38 in the rear wheel work/look?

The owner's manual gives you all the recommended tire sizes and wheel sizes.
Places such a 1010Tire and Discount Tire and many others will give you tools to run comparisons of every conceiveable tire and wheel combination you might consider running on any size wheel at any offset vs. stock. Why folks don't use them escapes me. Opinions as to what will or not fit are fine but not necessarily functional or safe.

If I had a $100 given to me over the years of MB ownership everytime these questions come up I could go to the Caribbean for a couple of months and live very well and pocket some change.

I am trying to wrap my head around why a local vendor is trying to convince me that a +38 on the rear would work without issue.
I had already thanked Adam Chambers when he replied... so what escapes me is, that if people have nothing to add, why would they just not continue scrolling?. If that's what makes you feel good
