W212
Question Help regarding wheels for W212.

Hi Guys.

I'm sorry to say it but I really dont have much knowledge about what would fit my W212.

I'm currently looking at some used wheels who have been mounted on a C43 AMG.

9,5 x 20" ET:48 Tire: 225/35
8,5 x 20" ET:38 Tire: 255/30

Would these fit?

Kind regards,
Jimmi

Man, that is some scary rubber bands right there. Check the load index on those tires and available tires first to see if they can meet the W212 specs.

Also shop around for wheel repair shop and good coverage on dental.

yes sir, they should fit just fine. Tires are a tiny bit taller than stock, so you're speedo will read higher than actual speed.

Will it still be comfortable to drive?

I can't see how these would be comfy to drive, sorry. At times even 18s seem stiff on my car. So, sacrificing even more sidewall for stylish black wheels (that in some light you can't even see) makes no sense to me.

Your rlde of course. But you need to find a wheel repair shop close by in advance if placing these on a W212. You and the wheel repair guy will be on a first name basis. He'll be more pleased than you.

I can see now that these tires are stamped 90Y. No Bueno.

They are not rated to support the weight of this W212 E class. You will put your cargo in danger if you mount these up. Fair warning.

Thank you for your help. I will find some others then.

Do you know if these would fit instead?

I think I see 2 different measurements for the hub size, but I don't speak the language this is written in, so I'm not sure. Is that the hub size, or the hub ring size? I assume the wheels are the larger size and the smaller measurement is ring ID?
If that is the case, then yes, you'll just need the proper rings to install them with no issues.
