Would an 18x9 wheel (from 2010 E63) fit in the front? I cannot remember offset but I know I'd need spacers (I believe the offsets are around ET50). What tire sizes would I need for my front? I'm lowered on Eibach springs. Current setup is 18X8.5 ET28 front 225/40/18. Rear E63 wheel is 18x9.5 with ET around 50 and I'd fit a 255/265 wheel with spacers. Just need to confirm if a 9" front wheel would fit. Thanks.

Yeah if you could take a picture of the setup that'll be perfect. Do you happen to know the offsets of the front and rear E63 wheels?
285 in the rear? Man that's sick. I didn't know we could run that size of a tire. Offset must be pretty high for that size.

The front offset for 2010 (W212 E-Class) E63 is ET37. The stock tire sizes for front is 255 and rear is 285 for the W212 E63.
What would I need to do to fit 18X9 ET37 in front and what tire size is good without rubbing/hitting suspension?

The w212 had bigger tires than the w211 than. I run 245 and 285 but that is pretty much the limit without rubbing. I wouldnt go to much smaller tires on the rims either or you will start to stretch the tire also. I would do 245 and 275's.
The change to 245's in the front made a big difference in handling.
I'm not sure if your offset are the same as mine, maybe someone in the E forum can say what the w211 e63 offsets where. With 10mm mine fit perfect, but i had spacers laying around to play with. 12mm in the rear was to much and would rub a little on the outside if i it a big bump.

I've never seen many 9" front wheel setups. My friend has his stock E63 wheels in his garage which is why I'm toying with the idea of the setup. ET39 with 18x9 should fit almost snug right? I would use 235 but need to know if it'll work.

they should fit fine, are 235's big enough for a 9inch wheel? With isnt really the issue on the front its diameter with the fender liners with it being lowered

flush is all the offset, there is enough room width wise for 255's but they would be to tall and rub the front fender liner inside.
