E450 19 Inch OEM Wheel Question
I own a 2019 E450 wagon with the luxury package that came equipped with 18 inch wheels. I have seen a few members with similar cars and OEM 10 spoke 19 inch rims that look really nice, and I am looking to upgrade to these. My question for the luxury style wagon owners with these 19 inch rims: are they 19x8 in the front and 19x9 in the rear from the factory? Or 19x8 front and rear? It seems like either would work but I would like to purchase whatever the OEM sizes are. My local dealer thinks it is 19x8 all around but isn’t certain, and all the dealers selling online advertise this style wheel as 19x8 for the front and 19x9 rear. So I’m getting conflicting answers and hoping an owner can help me. Thank in advance.

It actually differs: some wheel styles can be staggered, some only have the 8' wide option (mostly the less schporty ones). I believe most AMG wheels are staggered with 8' wide in the front and 9' in the back. You can check MB's official accessory finder to see which ones of the s213 wheels are staggered.

I think you may be putting form over function:
I too have a 2019 E450 Luxury (sedan) and couldn't be happier with the 18 inch stock wheels. The ride, even with RF is super smooth and quiet. At 19,000 miles I still have plenty of tire tread left.
If you go through the threads about harsh ride, tire failure and noise and wear, I would venture that 90% of the complaints come from posters who have 19" wheels.
I would think hard and fast before I spent thousands changing from 18" to 19" wheels and new tires.
Personally, I would never do it.
Again just my $.02.

Hi, I have 2019 E450 AMG Line, which came with the 19" AMG wheels. It is a square setup, with 19x8 (P/N A21340120007X21) all the way around. If you are really picky about the look and fit of the wheels you may want some spacers. These wheels mounted stock can look set inside the wheel arch. But this is personal preference and totally subjective.

For the US market (the OP is in the US based on info provided above) all 300/350 sedans and 400/450 sedans/wagons ("sport" and "luxury" body) use 8" wide square setups. All US based E43/E53 use staggered 8" wide front and 9" wide rear setups.
