any difference if they are 19"s would it rub? Thanks.

gixxerboy

cant say 100%, i assume with 285/30/19 would be similar.

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.

The wheels i have are off an 08 e63, same size so i would assume the offsets are the same even though the wheel syle is different.

I'm running 245/40/18's in the front , i'm lowered with H&r springs and i use 10mm spacers all around.

So you run a 9" front wheel? Can I see pics of front setup? Also are CLK550 fenders different than 500?

What size tire are you in the rear?

gixxerboy

in the rear im running 285/35/18 drag radials in the back
no the fenders are the same.
you want a picture of the front tire from the side?
I can take a picture when i get home tonight

kb24forlife24

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.

Here is a pic i have on my phone , this was yesterday so thats the 245 up front and 285 in rear.

kb24forlife24

By the way, the wheels look like this.

gixxerboy

i honestly dont remember the offsets, yea 285 is stuffed, i cant fit anymore, They rubbed with 12mm spacers but are fine with 10mm in the rear

gixxerboy

They are the same wheels as i have

kb24forlife24

What size spacers did you use front and rear? I'm thinking 235 or 245 front with 255-275 rear (can't decide yet on size, but brand will be Michelin Pilot Super Sport).

gixxerboy

i have 10mm front and rear

gixxerboy

stock tire size on the e63 for rear was 265's

kb24forlife24

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?

kb24forlife24

Also I found that the rear specs are 18x9.5 ET52. What spacer size would I need for the rear tires (255/265)?

gixxerboy

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.

gixxerboy

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

kb24forlife24

I'm not sure. My current front is almost flush (18x8.5 ET28 with 225/40/18).

I know already for the rear I'd need 20MM spacers. Rears are set. Just need front information.

gixxerboy

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.

kb24forlife24

I did an offset calculator and inner clearance of the strut is reduced by 15MM. It's already nearly touching as it is right now.

gixxerboy

its reduced by 15mm by changing to what? If you have 225's now and go to 235's that would move it 5mm closer to the strut if you kept your offset the same.

kb24forlife24

By changing from current 8.5" ET28 to 9" ET37 (didn't calculate tires).

gixxerboy

ok, are you using any spacers now?
