What wheel size without rubbing?
Love everything about my new S63 Edition 1 except for the wheels. I'm looking at Vossen and ADV but really need advice on the wheel size. Can I fit 21 inch wheels on my car without rubbing?

Careful now.
You have one of the most comfortable and fast Coupes in the world.
Don't Wreck it by forcing over size wheels and band tires on your car so it looks cool.
When you hit your first pothole you'll know.

Thanks for the reply. So if I stay with 20 inch wheels any recommendation on brand? I currently have the 5 spoke forged 20 inch wheel and think at brushed graphite wheel would really look great with the matte paint. I've been told Vossen and AdVs are great but I'm open to suggestions.

Are your wheels the same as the OP here

If so, you should only replace these with a monoblock/one piece forged wheel likely 7-10K from ADV, HRE, etc - anything else (cast, 2/3 piece, flow formed) will be heavier than your current wheel, un-sprung weight is the worst

It will work as long as you compensate with a narrower sidewall to keep the overall dimensions the same
Google around for tire plus 1 calculators
Generally, the ride does get worse as you increase the rim size (and decrease the sidewall height), but how much depends on a lot of factors, can't tell you if it will be a little or a lot worse
