Hello everyone,

After months of looking, I have finally found the OEM AMG 7-spoke wheels! I would have to get them shipped internationally but before I do so I wanted to ease my mind and confirm if the wheel's offset would be an issue.

The recommended OE offset for those wheels for the E550 4Matic is 8.5J x 19 ET 48 (Front) 9.5J x 19 ET 48 (Rear). However the wheels I am purchasing have the following - 8.5J x 19 ET44 (Front) 9.5J x 19 ET48 (Rear)

Would the front offset of 44 be ok for the E550 4Matic? I am thinking of going with these tire sizes - 245/35 (Front) & 275/30 (Rear). I beleive with this set up the rolling diameter would be .1% of each other.

So ye, I would really appreciate it if somebody can confirm if the above offset and tire sizes would be ok.

Thanks

 

Tire sizes sound good to me. The offset should not have a problem either. For a 19x8.5 you could easily go into the high 30s offset without a problem

 

 

 

 

 

Hey keep me posted as I just upgraded to 19s on my e400 4matic and the tire shop recommended I go with the same tire set up u got ... 245/35 and 275/30 .ET 42 And 48 ... 8 5 and 9 5 rim

 

I just picked up a set of 19" off of a CLS63 last weekend and got them on the car a couple of days ago. Finished product is amazing, check it out for yourself.

Looks awesome !!! . Love the big brakes and rotors.. how much for that set up ?

 

Brakes are stock, standard with E550. Paid $2,100 USD, drove up to Toronto last weekend. The strong exchange rate helped.

 

this is my set up

 

Looking good, I couldn't believe how much better the car looks with wider wheels/tires.

 

 

 

Those are slick ... I can't grasp y some car manufactures go with such a small wheel set up ? Like my other car.. Lexus ls430 .. comes stock with these hedious 18 inch wheels that gets drowned by the large size of the car ..I agree that people love comfort but in that case the wheel well is adequate enough to hold a meaty large 19 inch tire and in the 212s case I really haven't fealt any depreciation in ride quality with my new 19 inch set up

 

Also for some odd reason the car now looks larger in size ... Don't know y or is it just me ? I always thought the 212 looked smaller than my 211... That was a gripe I always had with the 212

 

I agree, it makes the car look bigger. It brings the tires flush with the fenders is my guess why.

 

Cool ...sadly my e400 came with small brakes ... They should of atleast came with a larger brake kit ... I' was thinking of painting them silver .. ..but not sure if it's worth the time

 

What tire set up are u going with ?

 

I wouldn't waste your time or money. It's a lot of effort for a small gain. You'd need to clean them really well then get special paint for calipers.

 

 

I like the setup! Are these Vertini brand wheels?

 

My original wheels ahve ET48 but I put a wheel with 28ET and I can still put a bigger spacer on it... I think 20MM is best

 

This is W212 forum. You can not put those offsets on W212. Do not confuse C218 with W212.
