I think this thread it will be useful for the newcomers.I often receive PM's with question about offset and tires set up.I posted here some pictures with my set up maybe it will help.I think all senior members should post pictures and info about their set ups.I hope i am not wrong starting this thread.
My set up is FRONT:245/30/20 ET 35;8,5*20
REAR : 285/25/20 ET 45;10*20
I am using EIBACH springs.

my set up:

front: ET40 8.5x19 235/35
rear: ET38 9.5x19 265/30
with H&R springs

Not sure on the offsets, likely somewhere in the 40's for both F & R.
KW SportComfort coilovers, no rubbing at all.

Here is my setup:No rubbing with stock suspension even with taller tires to reduce fender gap. Had good luck with VMR wheels on my Audi S4 so decided to give them a try on the E550. MB wheel caps do not fit these wheels so I bought some MB logo wheel center cap stickers off Ebay to cover the supplied wheel caps.

Very happy with this setup. Handling, tracking and grip all improved over OE wheels and tires.

Everybody should note that above tire sizes were ONLY possible due to stock suspensions were replaced by KW coilovers.

I drove the car with these wheels on and stock suspension and it was fine, in fact I even had 295/25/20's on the rear and it was okay. I lowered it with the coils and the 295's just barely rubbed the fender on big bumps, that's one reason why I sized down to a 275/30. The other reason is that a 295 on a 10" wheel looks like a square block, too wide and doesn't match the contour of the front tire.

Well I do not know what else was required to fit 295/25-20 on stock's rear since I did not even try it, but I know for sure that there's no way to fit 245/35-20 upfront on stock suspension. For 245/35-20 front coliovers are required. Unless Canadian cars are so different from US, there's just no way for unmodified suspension due to perch protrusion. We have tried that without any success on several E550/E350 coupes and even E350 sedans (which have more room).

Perhaps because I have the dynamic suspension with the adjustable sport/comfort mode. Struts and perches may be skinnier than the standard setup? Maybe it's just a freak of nature haha

Or maybe you want to check your own posts here: https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-c...010-e550c.html

As per above you had 245/30-20 front (not 245/35-20) on stock suspensions. I know 100% that there is zero chance of 245/35-20 fitting front on stock suspensions. It is possible only with coilovers (which you have now hence makes it possible).

Yea I mistakingly typed the wrong number, should be 245/30/20, not 245/35/20. Good catch. Can't edit my post for some reason.

will these wheels and tires fit my 2010 e550 coupe with stock suspension?

i am getting different information and i am just trying to make certain before i buy them

FRONT WHEELS: 19 X 8.5" OFFSET 35.5MM.
PART# A231 401 1602 W/ 255 35 R19 96Y.

REAR WHEELS: 19 X 9.5" OFFSET 48MM.
PART# A231 401 1702 W/ 285 30 R19 98Y.


thanks in advance

The offsets are OK.For the rear you should use maximum 275/30 and for the front the correct set up is 245/30.This is my set up for the winter.

Wheels will fit with no issues. We know that tires will fit with "perfect" offset.

FYI: as can bee seen in Nawlinstornado's above post, he's running:
19" x 8.5 ET40 Front
19" x 9.5 ET45 Rear
255/35 front tires
285/30 rear tires.

In one of his previous posts he mentioned that he has zero issues and front could even use lower offset (et35 or so). So "your" front is right there, while rear is only 3mm "in". Worse case you could use 1-3mm spacers at the rear if there're any inside rubbing.

Overall, I see no issues with above.

THREEMBS may be right,i offered you a solution for a lowered car.You say that you won't lower yours.

DR-Nab, may I ask what diffuser are you using? I'm loving it!

Guys,
