E550 Coupe
Hey guys, has anyone seen these wheels?
http://wpfla.com/wheels/verde/images/v39_parallax_b.jpg

It has a pretty deep concave. As you can see, they only offer them in 20x9 ET 32 and 20x10 ET42. The rear seems like a great fit but im not too sure bout the front size


Front (stock diameter is 25.4" - try to stay within 1"):

245/35-20 (26.7"-26.8") will definetely NOT fit (do not even try it).
235/35-20 (26.4"-26.5") is the highest sidewall tire you can use on E coupe. I have no issues with et30. You should be OK with et32, but test fit first if you can. Other options are: 225/35-20 - 26.2" (but maybe too narrow) and 255/30-20 - 26" (but maybe just a bit too wide). (245/30-20 is only 25.8" and offers almost no protection to wheels). Again, IMO 235/35-20 is the way to go.

Rear (stock diameter is 25.2" - try to stay within 1"):

285/30-20 (26.7"-26.8") will definetely NOT fit.
275/30-20 (26.5") does fit E sedans, but E coupes have less room, so it may or may not fit. But I would not go more than 1" over stock diameter, hence I chose 265/30-20 (26.3").

Note: all above is based on stock height only. If you plan to lower, you may not be able to use 235-35/265-30 combo, you would need to be closer to stock - 245-30/275-25 instead.

Also to offer more wheel protection, I use 40lbs front anf 44lbs rear tire pressure. The most important - it is very difficul to find a quality tire with both 235/35 and 265/30 sizes. IMO pair mixing is OK as long as the rear pair is rated at least as good in wet conditions as the front.[/QUOTE]

2010 E350 Coupe
Hey guys, I've read all the posts about this topic. Great information. I am going to get me some Brabus Monoblock S in 8.5 x 19" et 40 front (245/35R19) and 10 x 19" et45 rear (285/30R19) for my E coupe. From the information from this topic, I can say it will be perfect fit for the car, right? Can anybody confirm?

Thanks.

I don't know about the offset but in this site rear rim sizes are 10.5.

'09 e coupe
Hi guys,
I found nice 20's replica wheels from Italy.
Here is the link: http://www.wspitaly.com/ I think I'd go with w759 vesuvio.
But the problem is specs:
8,5*20 et30
8,5*20 et43
9,5*20 et30
9,5*20 et43

Give advice please what I need to choose. Am I correct that 8,5*20 et30 is ok for the front with 235*35?
But what do I need to do with the rear?

Buy the way could plz smb tell what ET factory 18' wheels have? I have amg package

Yes to the fronts question. For rear, you should use what I highlighted above with 265/30 or 275/30.

Factory wheels are 18x8 et45 and 18x8.5 et49.

20x9 et32 (245/30) and 20x10.5 et42 (275/30)

I would say no to both.

Front is a bit too wide (9") for such a low offset. IMHO for 9" wheel, et36 is the absolute lowest offset I would go with on C207.

Rear is also a bit too wide (10.5") for such a low offset. Most importantly, I do not know of any 275/30 tire approved by its manufacturer for 10.5" wide wheel. Personally, 10" is the absolute widest I would go on C207, but if one still wants 10.5" - et48 would be the lowest (would it rub on the inside? I have no clue).

Thank you so much for taking the time out for such a detailed explanation!!! Been itching to get a set of CV4 in the correct offset for the C207.

What he said. 10.5" with likely 295 or 305 (there are some 285s that are approved) tires may well rub on both sides.

Besides, if you're only going to put 275, why go with a 10.5" rim? 9.5" is plenty wide enough.

c207 e350
my first post after reading this thread for 2 mths! I have got my c207 e350 and have yet to plunch on a shoes. from my readings, I suppose these fit?

Front alloy wheels: 19x8.5" ET34.5
Wheel part number: AMG B66031486
Additional alloy part number: A2184011602

Rear alloy wheels: 19x9.5" ET48
Wheel part number: AMG B66031487
Additional alloy part number: A2184011702

these are meant for the cls c218

or do I need do shove off the back of the front, and add spacers to the rear?
really like the wheels and want something different from the rest.
if it works, I will be back with the pics!

hi gavrocool and threeMBs, thanks for guiding me through, here are the pics:

19x8.5" ET34.5 245/35/19
19x9.5" ET48 275/30/19

if the rear is pushed out by 6mm, it would be almost perfect.

IMHO, the E coupe in silver (and white) with AMG sport package (only) is a stunning work of art. Perfect from every angle. Right wheels emphasise this car even more. These are one of those that do. Good job.

Nice "tuaker"...
I just think you should have gone with 245/40/19 in front, and 275/35/19 in the back to close the gap some more.
My wheels are coming and I will post photos with those sizes....

So that you will not be unpleasantly surprised later, 245/40-19 will not fit upfront.

Why is that? The wheel is 19x8.5 ET30, isn't it far enough from the strut?
I've read through all your posts and concluded that your setup is dia 26.5 on ET30 in the front, mine is 26.7 on same offset... That is only 0.100" radial difference. If you have no issues I can't see why I would have any.

Congrats, a very clean looking car you have there.Right choice with the tyres as well.Go with a 5mm spacer at the rear,you won't have to change the bolts.

I think you're looking at it from the wrong angle. While radius is only .1" greater its the total diameter, which is .2" or 5mm, that one needs to be concerned with. Unfortunately, there's no "extra" 5mm available.

I did try 245/35-20, which is 26.8" (only .1" diameter taller than most 245/40-19 tires), and it did not fit. Keep in mind, I tried it on W212 which has a bit more room than C207 and after what I saw on E sedan did not even bother with E coupe. Now, one might be able to squeeze 245/40-19 on W212 E350, but IMO not on C207 350/550.
