19" Rims Offset question
Hi All
Wondering if anyone has pics or knows if low offset AMG rims from CLS will work on the w211 (09 E63)
I prefer the factory styling of AMG rims to aftermarket ones and I found a nice set of 19" AMG CL rims. Specs are below. I know they will be aggressive which is what I am looking for (don't like the factory stance) but will they be too much so?
front: 8.5 et 23
rear: 9.5 et 25
I have searched the forums but haven't really come up with anything. Thanks again for the help!

Check out this fs post. They’re 18s with similar offsets. I think you’d be cutting it close

Currently running 18 rims. 8.5" ET27 with 245 tires up front and 9.5 ET30 / 275s on the rear.
When I'm trying it out by totally lowering it with STAR (over -70mm of height compared to my "a bit lowered 0 point"), the front is absolutely ok (steering straight) but the rear tires do touch the fenders. Apparently I did like 1000kms with that setup (whole family on board) and it never actually rubbed.
Your wheels would be sticking out like 4/5mm more. That can be a game changer unfortunately. It all depends on what you like thou.
