Stance SF-03(s) on 2019 E450

Any fellow members here running 19" or 20" Stance SF-03 wheels on their late model, i.e. 2018-2019 E400 or E450. If you are, please share your experience, knowledge and photos if possible

I ask as I am considering them and based upon information obtained from Stance, my options are either 1) their SF-03 in either the 19"x8.5 +32 / 19x9.5 +45 or 2) their 20x9+32 / 20x9.5 +45. I currently have the 19" AMG Style 5-spoke wheels that came (optional) on my 19' E4504S wagon which also has the option code 677 Lowered Suspension w/Selective Damping (not AMG air).

While I realize the Stance wheels will result in a more aggressive look (desired), I just don't want to run into issues with either the suspension nor the body panels (i.e. rubbing).

According to Stance my options are:

19x8.5 +32 / 19x9.5 +45
This fitment will be like running a 15mm spacer on the factory wheels.

or

20x9+32 / 20x10.5 +45
This is of course more aggressive, it will be like running a 20mm spacer in front and 25mm in the rears.

Will appreciate any/all input.

If they can be built to order, why not just get the right offset instead of running spacers?

I think you missed it. The wheels are not made to order and the sizes I indicated including their offsets are what Stance offers in the particular SF-03 wheel that will fit the E4504S.

Stance will cut wheels to order. Those offsets are probably just what the recommend for your platform.

May be You guys are teaching me something I did not know or understand!

I contacted Stance and requested information on what they could offer me in the SF-03 style wheel to fit my '19 E450AS (wagon) to which their written response were the 2-two size options I indicated above in my previous post(s). I have since (today) written back to Stance asking if exact size replacement (i.e. D,W & O) wheels in the SF03 are available to order.

FWIW, I purchased the car a week ago, dropped it off 20 miles away from the MB Dealer the same day for Xpel Clear Bra and Ceramic Coating, and from there went to the airport got on a plane and flew overseas so I'm uncertain at this time what the OEM 19' AMG style F&R wheel offset(s) are while expecting Stance would advise me of what they offer as a correct replacement options. I do like their styles of wheels but don't want (nor need to) go overboard on offsets nor desire to do something that will impact performance (or warranty), including suspension issues or body contact, i.e. rubbing.

Again, thanks for the replies and advice.

Strange, the wheels I ordered was cut to spec, you can see on the wheel hub that they have been manually turned.

Vic,

It's the photos of your car with the Stance SF-03s which made my mind up those are what I'd like to see on mine.

Just need to work out proper fitment with the guys at Stance and was unaware their wheels are actually made to order, i.e. vs. not "off the shelf". I'll just have to wait to I return back home from my current business trip abroad and check to see what wheel offsets my 19' E450AS wagon came with. From there it will be a matter of working with Stance to select the size which will best serve my interest. I also think the polished titanium (like your's) will suit well with the designo Diamond White metallic exterior, night package and designo Black/Grey Titanium Nappa interior I have.
