I haven't a clue. The backspacing is the standard backspacing is on the OEM coupe wheels.

I agree and removed the wheels. I ended up purchasing 20" GLE43 wheels. I had them on my '17 GLE43 and they look a lot better.

Do you have a picture of it with the 20" GLE43 wheels? I was thinking maybe 21" would be better, or to LooseGoose's point, maybe not so wide of a wheel...10" maybe.

Do you have shots from different front/rear angles? The poke (especially in the back) still should be there even with added fender flares.

OK then 11" wide wheel with 325 tire and et60 is about the widest wheel/tire with the highest offset possible that can fit the rear (not a suggestion, just a reference point) without inside rubbing. This will also place the outside edge of this hypothetical combo exactly where OEM AMG's 10" wide et46 wheel with 295 tire is.

I really like the look. Are the flares OEM?

I'm going to talk to my friend over at Mercedes (over 25 year MB master tech) about getting a new firmware (My vehicle production date is on November 10, 2015). I'm thinking to get that ECO bypass module that my friend told me about. I can't get used to the motor shutting down and it's driving me crazy to push that button every time.

Finally the weather liner mat came in but still waiting on the cargo weather liner (In transit). I'm looking into the puddle light for the running board. If anyone has direction of the PDF file please post it.
