(HELP)Trading in Audi S5 for E550 Coupe

I currently hv a set of Vossen CV2 running on my S5...20" 44offset with 245/35 on front and 30offset with 275/30 on rear, I wonder if it would fit on the ecoupe. Thanks!!!!

e350 coupe
It will work but if you want to lower the car i think you will have rubbing problems at the rear.

Just roll your fenders, you'll be good.

Only MBs - the best or nothing
245/35-20 front tire mounted on a ET44 wheel will not fit E coupe - it will rub on perch.

I tried a much lower offset wheel - ET32 - still rubs, the higher the offset the more of the tire will touch perch.

the front will not fit for sure. you might be able to push the wheel out away from the strut perch with a hubcentric spacer. with a front wheel 20 x 8.5 et 40, i had to go with a 235/35/20 up front. also depends on the tire brand, some like falken and toyo have more rounded shoulders that will help clear the strut perch. would love to see if you can fit them with a 10mm spacer, then i might switch my 235/35 for 245/35. not really feeling how the edge is exposed and susceptible to pothole damage.

how wide is the rear wheel? if it's a 20 x 10 et 30, you might not be able to fit that either. that's a pretty aggressive offset of the e-coupe and might push the meatiest part of the tire right under the fender. the wheel will probably sit outside the fender too, past flush. 20 x 9.5 et 30, you're going to be very very close.

good luck, how did you like the s5? very nice car, why the switch?
