Best Resource for AMG Style Wheel Fitment
The world of wheels can be confusing territory as well, I'm finding it hard to find anyone (or other resource) that can truly tell me what my options are in terms of replacing the stock wheels on my 2019 E450 4S (4Matic) Wagon with a larger rim width set or even staggering them, i.e. F 9-9.5" / R 9.5-10".
Why AMG Wheels - I do not want aftermarket wheels and would prefer to install genuine AMG wheels from another Mercedes class vehicle, i.e. S-series, SLS-Series, E63, E53 and so on.
What I have - my car came with the M-B optional RTJ 19" x 8" AMG style twin five spoke wheels. They are the same size front and rear.
What I want - is to move into a wider rim size in either a 19 or 20" rim dia. with a width of 9-9.5 or 10" that when mounted will maintain a flush fitment to the fenders F&R, i.e. 19"x9.5 might be perfect but don't know what my options are. I also need confirmation as to what will work with the 4Matic and not result in suspension performance issues, My car does not have airmatic suspension, it is the factory lowered with selective damping.
Why am I asking here? - seems every M-B parts man I've spoken with are limited to what a VIN# tells them and can't offer or recommend another wheel set-up I may want to consider. (Old, knowledgeable parts guys are hard to find anymore). I'm betting that there is a resource somewhere who has this kind of "mix and match" data on Mercedes and their wheel sets.

Wheel-size.com has a lot of info about what wheel sizes will fit your vehicle. You can enter alternate models such as AMG to see what wheels came with it.

Oem wheels direct on eBay. If you search for oem+ AMG+ wheels it should be the first thing that comes up. I found them very responsive and their product was original mint.

What I'm wanting to do beforehand is research and learn what will actually work and what won't work in terms of proper fitment, i.e. flush fit. Ideally, I just want to go to a wider rim size, i.e. 9.5" to enable a wider tire. I think the car would look a lot sportier with a wider tire given that the RTJ optional 19" AMG wheels mine came with are only have a width of 8". My desire is nothing more than personal preference and aesthetic looks but I don't want to hamper performance or worse, create problems.
