19" Wheels Fitment

Does anybody have the following wheel sizes?
19X8.5 E.T 45 Front
19x10 E.T 45 Rear

Do they fit with no rubbing problems? Any spacers needed?
Your comments will be appreciated. Thanks

You're going to need spacers up front and in back if you want those wheels to look right and not rub on the inside.

At least a 10mm hubcentric spacer for the front

and for sure a 10mm or 15mm hubcentric spacer for the rears depending on how aggressive you want the rear to look..

Make sure they're hub centric and wheel centric to the center bore of the wheels so you don't shake around.

typically, our W208's use a 35 offset, so you will need to use a 10 mm spacer.

and, as CLKFAN stated above, if you want your rim to be more flush with your fender, you will probably need to use a 15 mm spacer.

make sure you use hubcentric spacers and not those cheap $5 china ones.

thats a S Class offset, and the S/SL ran larger lugbolts, make sure that you run the correct sized lugs.

I would just get correct offsets and screw the spacers...

it's a custom offset. VIP Modular does NOT reveal their offsets to the public.

With 3 piece rims, typically the manufacturers do not like to give out that info. It really depends on the curvature of the spokes of the wheel which is called the "X-factor."
