E63 AMG
20" Wheel Opinion

I still have my old set of iForged wheels from my Lexus. They are 20x8.5 and 20x10 staggered wheels, 5x114.3 bolt pattern, front ET+49 (approx.) and rear ET+43 (approx.). I've seen a website that sells 5 lug to 5 lug wheel adapters.

Do you guys think my old iForged wheels would work on the E63 with wheel adapters?

Don't do it.

Offset is wrong and bolt pattern is wrong, won't fit.

With the wheel adapters in the appropriate widths, I don't see why it would not fit. Obviously a new set with the correct offsets would be better, but this set can be made to work.

if the option is there, I would agree with the others to get a new set.

Once you start adding adapters, spacers, etc...you're going to introduce wheel vibrations. Get a proper set, made for the car and be done with it.

E 63S Wagon Renntech, E55 Renntech, SL65, SL 55 030, ML, bunch of old ones--they come, they go...
This is not just a bad idea.....

but a horrible idea. Vibration, improper offsets, wrong loads, bearing trouble, tire wear. Just don't do it.

Thanks for the feedback, it's going to be a "no go".
