Does anyne know if the following wheel will fit on a 2010 E63 with no issues?

HRE 547R wheels
9x19 front
10x19 rear
et35 offsets, front and rear.

Thank you!!

Its gonna be tight--- mine are the following

20x9 et 29
20x10 et 39

Your fronts will be slightly in but not an issue and the rears will be oooooooooooo so close. My fitment is spot on with 295's but I think with 285's you will be fine. I have maybe 2mm of room between fender and tire when tucked on an inclined driveway. And all this above is based on a pretty good drop. If you are not dropped you will be good all day.

I think you will be fine with the following tires:

255x35x19
285x30x19 or 275x30x19

you will need a more rounded tire therefore no PS2's--- a Toyo or Nitto Invo should suffice.

Dood...you're like an encyclopedia.

I was going to say the same thing!

Thanks Vic!! Much appreciated. I am asking cuz I have a chance to pick up a set of these redone to virtually new condition by HRE for half price...so it is very tempting. I may lower a little but not much if I get them.

Vic55

547's are nice wheels- the split 5 is what I went with too (C97) --- half price is a deal depending on what the number that half is being taken from.

E55_GT3wheels

yea I think I can pick them up for $3000 or so. I want the wheels but need to make sure they will fit. They are factory refurbished from HRE with the gloss black finish. Look amazing in pics - like new.

So what if I use spacers to make the fit better? Are we sure they will fit if the car is not lowered even without spacers? I know these rims fit right on a W211 E63 with no issues. Or so I am told. Should I call someone at HRE to confirm?

Problem is, I do not want to buy the wheels and order tires and then spend over $4500 and realize they dont work. That would be horrible!

Vic55

3k is reasonable price but they are 19's so I think you have room to work with them- refurbished or not. Remember they are 547's and not 597's so they have the older forging process too.

Spacers will not work here (rear) as that will push the offset down or make the wheels stick out more. You can use a 5mm spacer in the front to get a more flush fitment. I run et 29 up front and its pretty good although I might have 5mm more to push. I know you are good in front with the et 35 as that is conservative and our W212 front fenders hang out far but the 35 rear is close. I run et 39 but with a 295 tire on a 20 as I posted and am pretty low. I think you will be fine with a 275x30x19 tire.

If they fit the W211 you should be good since the 212 is a little more aggressive.

Ill send an email to the National Sales Director at HRE now and lets see what he says.

Thanks Vic!! MUCH APPRECIATED.



I am also looking into HRE P47 and BBS LMs. Any one have any pics with BBS LMs or the HRE on a W212 E-class? Id probably go with 19 in since roads in Boston are pretty bad in some areas I drive

E55_GT3wheels

Actually found a pic of a white W212 here with BBS LMs on it. It is pretty slammed though. I guess BBS does make the LM for the W212. I am having trouble picking a wheel. so many options here

Vic55

That pic was posted by me in the W211 forum... its a photo shop on a non AMG- but you can put BBS LM's on for sure... they are great wheels but their fitment is not aggressive with the step lip (higher offsets).

I love the P4x's but for Benz they are way too heavy. Its actually called an M4x and the HRE beefed up the wheel to account for the load requirements that MBZ demands.

EG:

M47 in 20x9 and 20x10 weighs about 30lbs each.... ouch!!!

My 19x8.5 and 19x11 997TT P40's weigh 21 and 24 lbs respectively.

My C97's in 20x9 and 20x10 weight about 22lbs each.

For looks the M47 and M40 are amazing wheels but in MBZ fitments they are just too heavy IMHO.

I just got this back from Guy at HRE:

I totally forgot about those damn calipers... the rears will be tight.

E55_GT3wheels

wow I did nto expect any HRE wheel to be that heavy. If they beefed it up for the load requirements, doesnt that mean all HRE wheels for the W212 E63will be pretty heavy too?

The P47 was what I was leaning towards. I think I am going to forget about the 547Rs - cant chance it not working and cant do a test fit since the wheels are in Florida (I am in MA).

More research before I decide what to go with I guess!

E55_GT3wheels

Thank you Vic. I am not going to chance it then as I said above. I appreciate the help!

sorry E55, don't mean to hijack but hopefully this is one and done, anyone know how much the stock 18s weigh?

E-Ridium 63

E55 - Will you have to get the car aligned when you go to the 19's. I think i see 18's on your car now.

Thx

E55_GT3wheels

Yea, I would get an alignment anyway... no worries about hijacking the thread.

Vic55

I think they were close to 30lbs too... cast piggies...

The HRE Monos are heavier due to load and the forging process that is carried with that wheel. Once you go to a comp or 97 series (79x or 89x as well) the forging process changes and the wheels are able to handle the heavier load and keep a light weight. I was going to get 790r's at one point and Guy told me they weigh about 25 lbs... if you want a big lip the 7 series or 8 series is the way to go. I got about a 2 inch front and 3.5 inch lip in the rear and am quite pleased.

FYI there is the 56x series too which weighs around 25 lbs and they are cheaper. A little less detail on the face cuts and spokes as they come from a more bulk cutter but this inturn lowers your cost immensely and you still get HRE quality. I like the 563rs myself.
