I know this topic has been beaten to death, but I need a second opinion on these offsets for some wheels I'm about to buy. The car is a 2016 E350 sedan. The wheels are Vertini RF1.1 20x9 & 20x10. They're recommending +35 front & +45 rear. I'm going to run 255/35/20 front & 285/30/20 rear tires (Hankook V12 K120).

I'm not going to lower the car and don't want the tires/wheels to stick out past the fenders AT ALL. Several mm's short of flush would be perfect.

Any feedback, are these offsets on the money?

Good luck.

These are the same width as E63 tires, slightly larger OD, and 2mm more aggressive offsets than CLS63/E63 wheels.

I have zero desire to lower the car. it will sit at factory ride height, hence wanting to go slightly larger in OD to fill the wheel well.

Do you think 5mm higher offset front and rear would be safer here?

post #1460. no lowering no rubbing. my set up might be too aggressive for your taste but i reckon 9" ET35 on the front will be aggressive enough and would look off if not matched aggressively on the rear. idk i might be wrong and 10" ET45 at the rear may be perfect for you but im happy with the way my wheels sit flush on the fenders. might be a different story when i decide on lowering but.

Tires in your original post are 1" taller (27") than those on E63. They will NOT fit any W212 E, including E63. If you meant 255/30-20 and 285/25-20, then its a different story.

Too aggressive for my taste. Specifically on the back, for a 10" wide wheel I think a higher offset like 55 looks best

You caught my mistake, thanks! I meant 255/30/20... It was from YOUR research and posts that I knew I could not go greater than ~26.4" OD up front

The Hankook V12 OD's are:

255/30/20 = 26.1"
285/30/20 = 26.8"

Even though I did not try it, I have doubts that 285/30-20 will fit rears, 275/30-20 is a sure bet.

To answer your original question regarding offsets - rear offset is perfect, front offset with 255 on 9" is too aggressive - not less than et40 would be better.

Check out my thread below. I ran 20x9 32et with 245/30/20 front and 20x10.5 42et with 275/30/20 Hankook V12 and lowered 2.25 inches. Wheels sits flush with no rubbing.

I don't know how you were able to run like that. The wheel shop I went to wouldn't order the wheels for me because how far it would stick out past fenders.

I went with 20x9 et 45 245/30/20 in front
20x10 et45 275/30/20 in rear

Lowered on HR springs and it looks flush in the rear but front is about 4 mm short of flush. 20x9 et 40 would probably be perfect for front

Hey, new to the forum and new Benz owner! I am wanting to upgrade wheels and tires and wanted some advice.

Currently researching and here's what I thought would look good.
Front: 20x8.5 Lexani Bremen Gloss Black
245/30/20 Ohtsu FP8000 offset 40mm

Rear: 20x10 Lexani Bremen Gloss Black
275/30/20 Ohtsu FP8000 offset 45mm

How will it look in terms of stance in front and rear, aggressive? Sporty? does anyone have similar configurations with pictures? Just want to do the right thins, thanks in advance for any help!
