ultra_E63

Good afternoon all. I'm in a bit of a pickle and I need some advice. Long story short, I cracked a wheel six hours from home and there is a local salvage yard with a few Mercedes but I need to know if any non AMG wheels will clear the rear brakes. The vehicle is a E63. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I would not say any but the rear requires less brake clearance than the fronts -- the manual say for an 07 e63 25mm offset for the spare and 44mm for the performance package -- so somewhere in between should at least get you home --

Thank you so much for the response. I figured the rear did not need as much space as the front but I just needed a second opinion since they are bigger than a normal W211. If I'm lucky there is a set of monoblocks laying around..

Maybe search for threads on drag setups as well since those guys will generally be running a smaller rear wheel. Might give you a better idea on what will clear.

I ended up pulling a 17" rear wheel from a 350 wagon. Mounted with plenty of clearance. Hopefully it did not harm the diff too much with the slight difference in rolling diameter haha. A 275/30-19 on one side and a 245/45-17 on the other for 400 miles. Perhaps I will have them add the rear end service when I take it in for the 100K service.
