![Question](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Thinking about getting Iforge Daytona rims, anyone have them? Anyone know how much rubber can fit on a 10.5 inch rear rim? I have 275s on the stock 9.5s now. 285 PS2s are on national back order.
What will the rear wheel wells allow for w/o rolling fenders or serious mods to the panel?
thanks

You can put every bit of a 295 onto a 10.5 rim. I'm not sure you could get your sidewall ratio to work out with that width though. As far as max under the wheel well??
I really don't know, that depends on your offset as much as anything.

thanks for the info...this is what I was told by iforge...sounds wrong. I know the OEM rears are 265s and I think the fronts are 245s....
<<no your stock on e55 is 245 front and 275 rear from mercedes not 285 and 255 ... 255 is too wide for front ..245 is max front 285 rear is max ..no way 295 or 305 ...massive body modifications ...

I ordered a set of Daytonas in 19x9 front and 19x10 rear fitment. When I asked if they could do 10.5" in the rear, they told me it would be risking it and that they would not be responsible for fitment. I will be running 245/35/19 front and 285/30/19 rear. I will report back in a few weeks when I receive them. Also, are you sure the rears are 9.5" wide? Everything I have read indicates they are 18x9.

If you are using 9" Front, get a 255/35/19 tire. The 245 will need to stretch too much and won't look good, leaving unprotected rim to scrub the curbs..
For the rear, 10" is good with 285/30/19 but make sure that the offset is not less than ET38, or your tire wall will rub at the trailing edge of the rear fender, the sharp point where the metal meets the plastic bumper.

As for a 10.5" rear, I believe it is possible, but you would want to stick to a 275 tire so as to avoid the sidewall hitting the inside fender under compression. However, the tire looks a lot wider than 275 when its stretched this way and it's still within mfg's specs.

ok thats good to know that I should be looking at a 275 rear tire. I guess the question is shall i tell iforge that I can only go with a 10.0 rear rim and not a 10.5? I think 275s on a 10.5 rim would be way too small.

I went with 19x9 and 19x10 in anthracite finish. Still a few weeks out.

Well maybe not for the Daytonas, but I'm sure that if you called they'd give you the weights.

I have the Daytonas on my Sl.. you can fit a 305/25/20 on a 10.5 wheel but that wouldnt work on your E.
Id go with Nitto or Conti's for tires, most other tires look stretched or have a rounded sidewall which looks like *** IMHO.

PS2 is the only tire worth having, and it looks great too!

I do agree on the Contis, though.

Your car looks very nice with the Daytona's. Yeah you are right, we actually did 10.5 on a 305 for a CLS a while back, and recently iFORGED did 305 on a 11 for another CLS (its posted around here somewhere). However the Eclass platform is not that aggressive.
