I've got 19" AMG V's on my car now and the C63 has the same staggered fitment and offsets but in 18". I need a winter set so I'm considering these (especially because I want to run the AMG brakes soon).

AMG Style "VI"

E350 Coupe

when you change diameter you also must consider width and wheel offset otherwise a wider wheel might rub in or outside the designated area.

here is a site to enter your wheel specs.

Yes, they will fit with no issues.

PGT

did you read what I wrote? : I've got the same fitment, only in 19". same width. same offset. the tires on the 19's are appropriately matched to stock OD's.

the question at hand is the C63 wheels and fitment on the C207. Everything points to 'yes'....just thought someone might have done it and could say 'no problems' before I buy.

the only unknown is brake clearance on the C207 but since the C63 has larger brakes, that should be a moot point.

E350 Coupe

from using the site I provided and I assume you had original 18x8 et 45 fronts with 18x8.5 et 49 rears.

entering the sizes into the calculator shows it will extend the wheel 1 mm out and 11 mm further in. the 1 mm is no big deal as there are 25.4mm to the inch however the 11 mm further inwards would extend a further 11 mm towards the strut or shock and this is about 7/16 of an inch or a finger width.

I would check to see if i can clearly place my fingers behind the wheel at all places to check for clearance in the rear.

A rather rude comment.

Your car being a e coupe came with 18x8 et 45 fronts and rear 18x8.5 rears et 49, you have now changed the rears to 18x9 what is the same, when you went to 9" from 8.5" even though the same offset you changed where the center of your wheel falls in relation to the original. The wheel is now almost 7/16" sitting further inwards

You now want to make a third decision based on your second set of wheels for this car.

Next time I'll keep the information to myself when it comes to helping you out

Again, for the slow. I have AMG V in 19x8ET45 and 19x9ET53 on the car RIGHT NOW. In fact, I said that in my first post. So, the only delta here is 18" vs. 19" (i.e. should be no issue).

when you read thoroughly and add comething of substance to this discussion, you'll always get a 'thank you' from me.

awesome, thank!!

I must say very seldom have I actually felt the need to post on this site but your rude posts have managed to make me finally post.

Maybe you have not learned any manners that when someone takes the time to try to assist you it really is not cool at all to be a jerk about your reply.

It is because of people like you, most decent people don't even bother offering assistance.

These sites were designed to help people not create ill will.

Sadly most people will feel the same as me but not bother telling you.

Try being appreciative not being a jerk!

appreciative of what, exactly? I laid out the facts quite clearly and the guy came back with info that wasn't relevant. Umm, *thanks* for that?

and, note - my first reply was tongue-in-cheek....sarcastic. He came back with the attitude.

Let's see some nice pics when the wheels are on or else lol

They look great...how about taking a better pic?
MB should make these an option.

i have replica on my car for the winter season.8,5*19 et 35 front and 9,5*19 et 35 rear.https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-c...ed-winter.html

Nice! Just what w/c207 needed as the 18's look anemic by comp.

Have you ever thought about blacking out the little rear side window slats with some black glossy limo tint? Should look awesome on a black car without the other glass being tinted; my thought would be it would blend in with the body of the car helping to cover up that akward detail mb put in the E coupe only as it was left out in the CL helping to preserve the full beauty of the pillarless design.

PGT

my windows are already tinted...not sure if would matter much.

I'll get some better shots soon with the SLR....this was my crackberry on the way to the gym yesterday, in bad light.

RJC

My comment about the tint for the rear side slats were for gavrocool's car. Stll would welcome some better pics on yours. Thanks

gavrocool

Interesting idea JRC.I will try that.

RJC

I've been wanting to try that when these cars first came out with black being the ultimate choice...should look great...please post pics.

RJC

I've been wanting to try it since these cars first came out, with black being the only real choice...should look great...please post pics.

took the nice camera one day a week ago and the rain never let up. Here's another (but a little bit better) pic from my BB:

gavrocool

i do not understand why aren't you making some more pictures?your car is beautiful.i think it will be nice if you will paint your side reflectors in silver.and your offset in the rear should be smaller.

PGT

Its winter here....I go in to the gym in the dark at 5am, go to work and don't leave until after its dark again at 5pm. I don't drive the car on the weekends....that means I have to go out just to take pictures and its not often I have free time to do so. I'll get better pics soon...hopefully, this weekend.

Conti DWS did just fine in the 2.5" of snow we got yesterday.
