2005 E500 with 'some' BRABUS upgrades
Question Wheel fitment

Trying to help a friend that owns a 208 find some wheels. Will the fitments listed below work on his car?

Thanks in advance for any help!


Front wheels are 20x9, ET 37
Rear wheels are 20x10 ET-32

My buddy has his fenders rolled already.

Front may need the fender to be rolled or use 8.5j. Rear no problem.

Rims:
20x8.5 38ET Front
20x10 32ET Rear

Tires:
Pirelli PZero Nero
225/30
255/30

Check my thread called New Pictures to see the fitment.

picking the right tires will be key

the fronts could pose a problem if he doesn't roll the front fenders enough

these are the tires sizes needed:

225/35/20 or 235/30/20 or 245/30/20 fonts

255/30/20 or 245/35/20 or ( 275/25/20 expensive tire from Pirelli ) rears


if the car is to low all the 30 series tires should be used up front

Hi guys, what about for 19s?

I know that running 265 30 19 in the rears with 9.5 rim works well but will going to 275 30 19 rub in the rear? It's a non-lowered suspension?

I only ask because I found a guy locally selling 2 new never used Kumho Ecstas at a decent price but they are 275 vs 265. I know that it's only 10mm but anyone know for sure?

Ive been running a 275/30/19 rear tire for over a year with stock ride height and have never rubbed a single time, I drive hard too over crusty azz LA streets.

Sorry im still addicted to these lil faces.

Kuhmo Ecstas have a very square sidewall. You will rub.

Darn it, thanks.

Will 265 30 19 in the Ecstas rub as well? I remember reading somewhere here that some brands in the 265 30 19 will rub in the rear. Was it the Kumhos?
