W212 Wheel fitment questions
If anyone might know...
Im looking at some wheels...
Front 20 x 8.5 ET25 with 2” lip. Rear 20 x 10 ET33 with 3.5” lip
Will these fit the W212? What will the stance be like? What size tires would I run?
Thanks in advance.

Provided you'll use the same width tires you're currently using (245/30-20 front and 275/25-20 rear) front will stick out passed the fender by 8mm more than your current wheels, rears - 6mm more. If you'll use more appropriate tires (255/30-20 front and 285/25-20 rear) add about additional 5mm to both front and rear.
If I were you, I would not do it. You have as good wheels on your car as there are available anywhere. Plus they are unique, not only beautiful, and at the same time very much a Mercedes Benz "look" wheels.

I am currently using 10 mm spacers on both front and back currently. So with the wheels I am contemplating, without using the spacers, the front will go in 2 mm and rears will go in 4 mm?
Just trying to confirm before the purchase of a spare set. Got a pretty sick deal on some HRE's and just want to be sure before pulling the trigger.

I know what you're running. With 10mm front and rear spacers, your actual current offsets are et33 both front and rear. Hence my response above. Your new wheels with offsets you mentioned will be way passed the fenders by amount I listed in the original response.

Another wheel fitment question...
I am contemplating running...
Front - 20x9 ET 43 Tires - 245/30/20
Rear - 20x10.5 ET 48 Tires - 285/25/20
Looking for a classic/aggresive stance. I have no qualms about using spacers.
Yay or nay and how would the stance look?
