First Post, E43 wheels on E300, HELP!

Hey guys,

This is my first post after browsing for a few days, great forum you have here!

I'll be picking up a preowned 2017 E300 in about a week, and would like to order OEM new/refurbished 20" E43 twin 5-spoke wheels.

I understand the E300 18" AMG wheels that come on the 2017 sport package are 18" x 8" all around (is that right?), and the 2017 E43 20" twin 5-spoke wheels are 20" x 8" ET20 front and 20" x 9" ET?? rear.

I checked out a few threads on this subject including:

https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...els-e220d.html

Some say front wheels will fit perfectly on a non-AMG Exxx, others say they rub the fenders.

For the rears, some say 15-17mm spacers are required, others say the wheels stick out too far beyond the rear fenders already.

Are there any here who can provide some clarification, as well as the correct rear wheel offset?

Finally, what are the websites with the best prices on new/refurbished OEM Mercedes wheels?

Thanks in advance!

You can try Autorimshop, not certain if they will have what you need but definitely worth a try. I purchased a refurbished OEM 5th rim as a full size spare and it looked brand new

Thanks kingscorpian27, I bookmarked the product pages.

Can anyone help with the offset questions re: installing on an E300?

Offsets are rim size specific, not model. I have a E300 Luxury model with 17”. Below is what I have
17” x 7.5 wide
5x112 bolt pattern
40 mm offset
Center Bore: 66.6 mm
Thread Size: M14 x 1.5

Yes kingscorpian27, I understand your point.

The E43 came with 20" x 8" front and 20" x 9" in rear.

Your car (and the E300 I'll purchase with the sport package 18" AMG wheels) has the same wheel sizes all around.

Theoretically I could get 4 front 20" x 8" 20 offset AMG wheels and everything should be good to go with no spacers required?

If possible, you can check the actual rim. All the specs are on the rear of the rim. See attached photos I took of one of mine a couple months ago

He is correct. My E43 has 245/35/20 tires in front and 275/30/20 in the rear.
Ive already bent one front wheel and had to purchase from the dealer, my local MB guy gave me a "deal" of $1000 for the front with a $150 deposit to return the old wheel. They are 8" front, 9" rear.

One word of caution - I feel my car rides like cr@p with the 20 inch wheels. I'm about to junk the factory Pirelli run flat tires for regular Michelins and hope that will help. My biggest gripe about the car is the soft wheels and poor ride. I really wish it had the standard 19" wheels.

I was fortunate that my car came with 17”. I too hated the Continental run flat tires so I switched over to Michelnes non run flat tires and very happy with my decision. I have a full size spare tire and jack in my trunk

Watch out, if you dont have the AMG Exterior Edition, than everyhting bigger than 245mm width will contact and rub the tires. In Germany for example its not allowed to put E45 or E63 tyres on a non-amg package car.
https://www.mercedes-benz.de/passeng...is%20N35_v.pdf

It says everything bigger than 245mm and without the code P31 (AMG Exterior) will rub your tyres.

This rears have ET49, like all 20'' AMG wheels for E class
I drive not the same like this but E53 wheels (the same offsets and width), and I added 13mm spacer at the rear. Fronts ET20 is ok
I don't know if ET20 in the front will fit non AMG car. But if the fenders are the same as on AMG package versions, than it wont rub
Mine is coupe

Yes you are 100%ly right, that’s what I meant, if you don’t have the amg Package fenders it will contact.

All E class sedans have the same fenders, except E63
E200 or E43, regular or AMG package = same fenders

I am not sure about the US packages. We got here:
Classic : Which is very soft, everything bigger than 245mm will contact.
Exclusive: Same as classic

Avantgarde: middle Hard fenders but the car lowered about 15mm, that’s why it will contact also on 245mm +

AMG: will not contact because of its hard fenders:

E45 or E63 AMG: same as AMG.

this is where it will contact:



And also the front wheels will do on the inside when you steer hard left or right

maybe you're right
Im in Russia, so 99% of all E class here are AMG packaged. And I сant assume that it won't rub on classic versions

Is P31 "AMG Exterior" the same as the "AMG Line Exterior" package DG1 offered on U.S. W213 models? DG1 (322) includes the following:
  • 322 - AMG Line Exterior
  • 722 - AMG Body Cladding
  • U29 - Exterior Sport Package
  • P15 - Sport Exterior
  • P14 - Sport Interior

I have checked the codes. The AMG line should do it. The ‘line’ is a all inclusive package with common amg extras. So feel free and go for it.

Dear Colleague,

I actually have an E43 which was given to Brabus two months ago full a complete Brabus conversion, which included an upgrade to 21-inch Brabus wheels.

I have the 20" E43 twin 5-spoke wheels that you are after, they are brand new and in absolutely immaculate condition. The car has only been driven on them once basically when it was on its way to Brabus for all the upgrades.

I will soon be putting these and other parts that they removed from the car for sale. Please let me know if this is of interest, I am based

Hello, Did you manage to get the wheels to fit on the front with thE ET20?


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

Clearly people on this thread do not know what they're talking about (no offense to anyone) since they're all over the place. I suggest you do a little bit of research on your own online before listening to anyone, but i'm telling you you'll be fine. I have E63 wheels on my E300 and they're fine. It's the tire that you should worry about as the sizing is the important part. The E300, E43, and E53 all use the same front fenders, bumper, and the rear bumper. Only difference between them are the grille, exhaust, and the wheels on the exterior part.

on my 2017 E350 I even had very aggressive offset wheels with SUPER wide tires and didn't rub AND it was lowered an inch and a half. The wheels i had were:

Front: 9x19 255/35/19
Rear: 10x19 285/30/19

Do not use spacers, don't lower it, and dont go too large with the tires either.

One other point is making sure you get the right tire size if you're going staggered (i don't suggest it as it's a waste of money). Unless you have a RWD Mercedes, you'll have to make sure you get the right size as the rolling radius and circumference needs to be the same for the front and rear tires. If you have 4Matic and the the radius and circumference aren't the same, you can screw up your transmission and differential.

I would suggest getting 245/35/20 front and 275/30/20 in the rears for a perfect fitment on these wheels you're looking to buy. Or you can even go 255/35/20 & 285/30/20 since your ride will feel like **** going from an 18 inch wheel to a 20 inch for a little bit of extra padding. Good luck.
