If the offset clears your calipers, then yes. I run slightly wider tires on my E63.

That is most likely a laser shifter. I have them mounted in my grill on my E63, and one on my rear license plate. But the ones that I have aren't that large, they're the size of your finger, and fit in between the fins of the grill.
So they're not easily detectable when looking at the car. now the rear does stand out as it mounted on the license plate. You can just barely make them out, just below the first slat on both the left and right side of the grill. And on the rear plate. The purpose: A laser jammer detects a police laser gun's beam, decodes the signal and transmits bursts of invisible light in reply. If this bogus return signal is at the correct frequency and the same pulse-repetition rate (PRF), it confuses the laser gun. No speed is displayed.

Ha..You guys are funny with the comments..
W204 Racing "I'm always right"
Yuille36 "Some kind of laser diffuser'
That's actually my EZ Pass tag😂....I do plan on a front plate delete once I find a tow hook cover..And because I love bending the rules..
I'm late to the scene with these cars..I'm coming out of a W210 AMG...It really was the best car I've ever owned...However I'm falling in love with this one quickly..It was owned by a former member here and already has some nice upgrades.. (Longtubes,Split Cooling,,Pulley,,Big HE,,Eurocharged ECU/TCU tunes,BC Coilovers,)and all the other commonly done..This page has helped alot already..Plan to take the car a bit further once I know I can trust it...Still getting familiar with it..Hope to be around awhile...A few more pics of the old and new ride..

Way to air a guy out😯....Only kidding..Yes they are reps..Not trying to fool anyone..Tires were shot on the stock AMGS so I picked these up from a forum member at the same cost as tires only would have costed alone for the 18s..Tires mounted on the reps were new so rims were almost free..I will be changing out the BBS caps and replacing with AMG caps...Will also be going to a bigger back tires next time around..Lots of room back there....Also planning some C63 muffs...

LOL. I recognized them because I had same wheels AND same caps on my E39 540/6. LOL
I refused to pay BBS prices when quality reps are fraction of price for similar quality

Trying to avoid creating another wheel thread....
I’ve found a deal on genuine 19” S-Class AMG A221 wheels..
measurements are as follows...
Front are 19x8.5 et43 245/40
Rears are 19x9.5 et43 275/40
Im curious what I’ll need to add spacers for the wheels to work with the right tire size, I’m assuming these tires are too large. ALL input is appreciated, it’s been driving me crazy trying to locate another set up like this. It’s a great price and I would really like to make it work.
I found this photo of the exact wheels in the classifieds on here, just for reference so you can see what I’m going for. I love these wheels.
