Hi

Found a great deal on almost new 20 inch e43 rims with winter tyres. The tyre size and rim size seem to be the same as the 20 inch that can be optioned with a e200 amg line. But is the offset different? Anything else to consider?

The AMG wheels offset is lower on the front rims but theyll fit.

Will it need spacers in the front to look right then? Also discovered that the rear tires of the wheels are 275/35-20 which means they are 2,5 cm taller than the front tyres... Maybe better to just buy other wheels?

So hello from yet another Swede!

Doesn't the E53/E43 lack the wider front-fenders that the E63 has? Meaning that the offset of the same width of wheels should fit without any issue?

Yes I think so, they are the same price as 18 inch from the dealer so will probably buy them

Stock is if I am not mistaken around ET40, the E43/53 front wheel has ET20, so they poke out an additional 20mm.s, the stock fenders has no issues fitting the lower offset.
Spacers are only needed with higher ET to clear the calipers.

Oh I got it messed up, thanks alot! Is michelin pilot alpin pa4 european studless winter tyres a bad idea if you live in östergötland (south-ish) or should I opt for nordic studless tyres?

Jag personligen avskyr nordiska friktionsdäck, de förstör bilens köregenskaper och det känns som att köra en flugsvamp, å andra sidan är Michelin Alpin ett uselt vinterdäck, utmärkt på torrt, väta och slask men odugligt på snö och is.
Det däcket hade nog funkat bättre här nere i norra skåne.

Det är en kompromiss det där, man får väga vinterfäste mot prestanda på asfalt.

Ja det är vad jag har hört så blir nog att köra på nokian hakkapelitta som min lokala mercedes handlare rekommenderade, åkte av vägen för två veckor sedan så kan nog leva med ett säkrare flugsvampar till däck . Tack återigen för hjälpen! Grymt snygg s213 förresten!

I have this setup on my E300, with OEM 20" Twin 5-Spoke wheels from the E43. The front wheels' offset is different, so they stick out further than your stock wheels. They will be flush with the fender. If you want it to look right all the way around, you'll need to get spacers on the REAR wheels. At minimum 15mm. I used 17mm on my rear wheels on it looks right. PM me if you have any questions.

Hello, I hope some one can help

I’ve ordered a E300e AMG Night Edition MY21 facelift. I have a couple of questions.

I’ve found out the the new E53 AMG grill will fit the E300e AMG so good news. Will the rear E53 quad diffuser fit? I don’t see why not as they share the same rear AMG bumper. Can anyone confirm??

also wheels, the E300e AMG comes with 8X18” ET43 245/45RZ18 as an only option. Again I’d like to put the following on the E300e AMG, E53 OEM 20” wheels. Front 8X20 245/35/RZ20 ET20 Rear 9X20 275/30/RZ20 ET49. Both vehicles share the same front panels and both have the AMG front bumper but the E53 front wheels sit further out than the E300e because of the difference in the front offset. (ET20). I’m looking to mirror the E53 stance but the question is can anyone think of any other clashes that could stop the front wheels fitting, calipers, discs, or suspension struts?? I think the rear will be fine but again can anyone confirm?

thanks in advance, car should look great if this can be done
