e63 20x10 all around
I've searched and it seems to be that most aren't sure what the actual limit is as far as front fitment and tire size for the e63 as far as 20" wheels go. So I did some test fitting with the next door rim shop. 20x10 et35 with a 265-30-20 will fit with in my opinion the perfect amount of poke. There's no rubbing driving straight and normal lane changes on partial turns and it clears the strut on top by 10 millimeter and clears the inner wheel barrels by 5 millimeters , then I tried a 275-30-20 and depending which name brand you use it will clear the inner side by 3 millimeter from inner tire to strut contact, the only time it will rub is on a full complete turn, the tire slightly rubs the back side of the fender liner, but with a heat gun it pushes in perfectly and stops touching. Tires do not touch fenders at all no matter how hard of a bump or turn, if you are lowered then that might be a diff issue, this is for stock height. Some of you may think it looks awful as you like the stock size setup. But some of you may like the euro mildly aggressive poke look. I purchased rotiform kps and had them powder coated to look like the stock color combo, charcoal grey with machined face. Now the tires I picked are continental extremecontact sport. They are actually 5 pounds lighter then my 19" tires, and my rims are The same weight that my stock 19x9 amg wheels are . So I moved up from 19 to 20" and managed to be roughly 4-6 pounds lighter per corner. And as you know 4-6 lbs is a great amount of weights shaved especially weight that's that far from the center of the wheels. I will have pictures up asap.

Advice on 2015 E63
I just bought a 2015 E63 and want to do the same thing with 20x10s and 35MM offset all the way around. So if I read this correctly they will fit without rubbing fenders or wheel wells?

are the roads absolutely racetrack perfect where you live and drive? /30 series tires are *brutal* on typical city streets with potholes and cracked pavement and such.
