same thing goes for E53 rims you ordered

Any clue ? I'm like wtf..

The point is that the non E53 coupe offsets are et43 for the front and et49 for rear
E53 coupe and sedans use et20 for the front and et49 for rear. I think the front offset differs because of the caliper

For the non E53 car you can use both

Stunning car. I’m considering lowering mine. What’s the ride like? And have you any pics lowered without the spacers. I’m considering 10mm just for the rear but if the stance was right without them I’d be happy.
I have the same wheels and tyres btw

@FedM Love what you've done to the car. I just picked up a new 2019 E450 Coupe and would like to do the exact retrofit as you. Could you please post links of where you got the parts from? Like the Grille, quad exhaust, diffuser etc? The more details the better.

Here is the parts list for E53 quad exhaust retrofit
1. A2388852701
2. A2388852501
3. A2574907200
4. A2574907100
5. A2388852901
6. A2388853001

I got the front grille from Aliexpress. But I changed it for E53 grille, and I like it better.

Well done FedM, it's looking great now. I love the current 53 "RTZ" wheel - really suits the coupe.

Thank you for this. Can I impose you putting the links of where you purchased the parts from? I did a couple of searches on eBay and couldn't have all the parts show up with results. Thanks.

Did you sell your Panaemericana Grille then? I may be interested in purchasing if it's in good condition.

E400 coupe c238
Looks amazing man. I’m just about to get spacers for my e400 coupe and was thinking about doing 15mm all round. Do you think you could have got away with another 2mm?

ps I have the same wheels as your original photos - 19” turbine.

thanks man. By the way, with the bolts are they the same front and rear needed? And are the lengths referenced (60mm) the overall length or the thread length?

if you use the same spacer width for front and rear than your need the same length bolts
bolts length is the thread length (without head)

Love your ride man! Just wondering where you ordered your grille from because I’m not happy with the quality of the one I ordered for my car :/

But for now I have no ideas for the next step lol

The only one thing im thinking of is new wheels
I was ready to pull the trigger for Vorsteiner V-FF 107, but changed my mind last minute
I really love the 20'' from E53, every time I see them I wanna buy them
But the new set is pricey here and I can't find any used sets




I have a 2018 e400 4-Matic with the AMG 5 spoke 19”s. I’m essentially trying to an identical retrofit of the e53 amg myself.

I found a good deal on these exact e53 wheels and wanted to ask if you ended up going with this look. If so, did you use spacers for fitment?

Currently purchased the the other style 10 spoke oem amg 20' wheels. Was curious what size spacers did you use for both the front and rear. My current car is a 2018 E400 4-matic. Looking to do a similar retrofit as yours.

Thanks!

2019 e450 coupe
Has anyone looked at replacing the "diamond" rear lights on the 2018-2020 w213 coupe with the facelift 2021-2022 version rear lights? I am looking to do this on my 2019 e450 but need some advise.

Thank you,
