E-coupe (w207)
Changing wheels with differetn ET
Hi There !
I am planning to change the wheels on my W207 next season. Currently I have 6 spoke 18" AMGs but wish to go one inch further. MB AMG rims is the only option I am aiming for, I really want to keep stock look. I went to local MB dealership with bunch of pictures of models I like ( with 5x112 bolt pattern - the one that fits my W207 ) but unfortunately they said that the one I am interested in have different ET and that's the problem (30 or 44 instead of 52). They said I can order them but only for my own responsibility because MB does not dedicate those wheels to W207 despite the correct bolt pattern. I have seen already few pictures on the internet of E-coupe with those wheels and I wonder what might be a danger of having them with different ET.
Anyone had same issue or experience ? Personally I think that guys from MB just have to go by the book and they can't say much more about this matter.
Attaching some pictures of the wheels I am/was thinking about.
Any advise is very welcome.

Do you have the precise offsets for the desired wheels? I know the stock are ET45 front, ET49 rear. There are a lot of guys on here that have changed wheels and gone to new offsets. We can weigh in on the specifics.

The one I am thinkng about ( first picture ) is ET30. I was told at dealership that MB is suggesting ET35 for E-coupe so I believe ET30 still fits pretty well.

30 *might* push you out a little too far on the front, and most likely will in the rear unless you are sticking with the 235/255 stock setup.

Saw it on youtube on the other day. Those rims look great, but they seem like 20' ? Does MB make those in 20' or is it just another OEM ?
