Thank you. But the only problem is that the fitments listed is based upon the wheels they sell. Note how for W212 it stops at 20x9. Yet I know for a fact a 20x9.5 would fit. Also notice the wheel referenced for the fitment out on the right.
Therefore, this doesn't tell me whether the wheel in question would fit... just tells me that they don't have anything for sale in that size.
Offset is not a problem as the face of the wheel is moving outwards 10mm.
What size tires are you contemplating on those 20 inchers? Try 1010tire.com tire selector.
Offset is moving out 10mm from what the stock wheel? I have to believe it moves out more than that considering the new wheels is both wider and perhaps lower offset than stock wheel no?
Yes from the stock 48 offset. I used 1010tire.com's wheel offset calculator to check before I made the post. Check it out. Plug in the stock wheel and then his wheels. I just did the 8.5 in. for my post. The 9.5 will be different. The 9.5 at 38 mm offset will have 3 mm less inner clearance and the outer position will extend 23 mm or nearly one inch.
My SLK has 7" ET 37 mm front and 8" ET 30 mm rears. His have the same offset.
There will be 10 mm less distance between the centerline of the wheels and the back of the mounting plate of the wheel which moves the front of the wheel out as well as increasing the back clearance. What I don't know is will a 20" wheel and tire fit the fenders.
Not sure what you are asking.
My car E350 came with 18 " wheels which I believe are 8.5 " ET48. (Did not check but recalling numbers from when I bought rims for my winters.) I am sure of the 48 as I know my winters are on 17" ET 45s.
Look in your manual to confirm you stock wheel size and offset and plug them in. While I doubt it I can't be sure they didn't make a change 2011 to 2013.
They have a good tire fitment tool as well.
The wagons in 2011 in Canada came with 18s but I know the sedans had a stock 17".
I prefer the 17 ride on my winters and handling is much the same.

It will fit because I am running a more aggressive set up on mine. 20x9 32et and 20x10.5 42et. Also I am lowered 2inche and no rubbing.
Car looks GREAT!!

To answer your original question YES the wheels will fit with the sizes and offsets listed choose tires carefully, try to get actual dimensions as this will be much better determining factor for final fitment. As far as rarely seeing "lip" or "concave" wheels on our cars it would really come down to the owner demographic in my opinion. Most E owners keep the factory wheels or opt for factory replicas either because the OEM style works so well with the car or the car is a lease and they'd rather not bother with it. Your car, you money, do what YOU like...don't forget that the ride becomes a bit stiffer with decreased rubber/sidewall...MB doesn't use 20's on the E-Class for a reason, who am I to disagree with their engineers

Now a days you see a lot of cars running aggressive set up with some major poke. Hence going lower offsets and wider wheels to achieve the super deep concave and 4-5inch lips. In order to fit the wheels, you need fender work and running negative camber of -4 or higher. It looks pretty sick but you will be sacrificing the quality of your ride. We can absolutely achieve this on our w212 and I have seen a few out there and they look pretty sick. If you are interested I can suggest a few wheels with either deep lips and deep concave that will fit our cars.
Your car looks great. How is the ride? I don't want any poke. Just flush. Here is a pic of my 997TT with what is to me perfect stance. Your car is perfection too.
I have my theories that my 17" run flat will feel about like a regular 19 or 20 but haven't driven in an E with 20's yet.

That is one sick Porsche 997TT you got there. Loving those candy red HRE's.
