thanks for the response. may you please advise how these do not fit properly.
also, a seller responded with the following:
The rears looks like they will fit for sure based on the offset The fronts I’m not sure how to get a good calculation based on reviewing wheels with offsets of your current year make and model compared to this one as this offset seems to be a little bit less with a 20 on the front That doesn’t mean it will or will not work I just don’t have an answer for you that I feel confident in telling you I think that’s the best course of action would be to contact a dealer As I’m leaving leaving the final fulfillment decision to you
Whats your model?
the new fronts look like they would stick out 25mm more. You would have to put a straight edge level on your fender and measure how much your tire can come out before hitting.

I have a 37ET offset up front and a good 3-5mm of poke. A 20ET in front would stick way beyond the fender. It would look ridiculous and cause issues for you. Good luck

Nice car and thanks for your advice. i have been doing more research and see that 35ET is used alot on these models with aftermarket rims. i found some c43 rims that are 19x8.5 et 52 and 19x7 et 33. may you please advise on these specs? thanks in advance... btw i have the sport suspension and dont plan on changing it

Those would probably bolt on and fit up front due to the narrow 7” wheel, but here’s the rub with trying to fit C class wheels on an E class. The E class requires a minimum 97 XL load rated tire due to the car’s weight. I seriously doubt you will find a properly load rated tire to fit that skinny 7” wheel up front. If you can’t find the proper tire I would pass. Don’t chose looks over safety.

On those, I wouldn’t be concerned up front, but the rear wheels may be pushed too far out. 48ET stock vs 38ET. My 9.5” wide rear wheel is a 52ET for example. They may fit however, but you would need to mount them up to verify fitment and I know that may not be possible. I’d hate to see you buy them and have an issue. If you go Vossen, they will set you up with a perfect fit.

I remember to have ET at 28 and the wheels do stick up, but I actually like the looks. We don't have much rain, but some mud splashing on the sides is the only disadvantage.

I like those. No issue up front. I have some concern about the rear interfering with the shock. My 9.5 “ wide wheel, once again is an 52ET and is very close to the shock. I would only buy those if they clear the shock.

The best photo I have of my rear clearance:
whats your take on wheel spacers? if you have a 52 et then its probably flush w the car.
52 is actually into the wheel a bit and I could probably use a 10mm spacer for a much more flush appearance. These are OEM E63 wheels and I trust the Mercedes designers to have engineered them properly. Yes, you could use a spacer on those and move the wheel out further to avoid any suspension contact if you need to.

I’ve never used spacers, but assume even the skinniest spacer (5mm?) would require new lug bolts. Wherever you buy the spacers from should be able to sort that out for you.
I was researching the spacers in the past and the 5 mm turned to be the most difficult.
2-3 mm spacer will still allow original flange to center the wheel.
Thick spacers will have grove for original flange and new flange on top of it.
the 5 mm is not thick enough for making that, while you loose the original grove, so avoid that size.
When I neve used spacers on MB, I did own several dually pickups and some of them have spacers in 6" (150 mm) size. Working just fine.
