'10-'13 E63'ers with 19x10 aftermarket rears

Question for those folks running 19" aftermarket wheels, specifically 19x10s in the rear.

What offsets are you running in the rear? Also, do your rear wheels stick out past the body a little? I really like the new Vorsteiner V-160s I picked up but I let the factory dictate the offsets and sizes since they had direct experience with our E63s (19x9 & 19x10). I noticed the rears however, stick out a little too much for my liking. Not sure if it's due to going to 10's in the rear or whether it's offset specific. I lowered the fronts and will install lowering links for the rear this week but wanted to address the rear wheel issue first.

I do plan on contacting Vorsteiner on Monday but thought I'd still pose the question. Sorry in advance for the crappy iPhone pic.

It looks like the rear is sitting high. Have you taken the car for a ride to let the suspension settle down? If so, are your rears rubbing at all?

KW coilovers in the front and stock links in the rear and yes, drove for a couple of hours on the new wheels to test and let things settle. The rear is sitting at stock height so no rubbing at all.

Adjustable rear links go in later this week but held off for fear of rubbing if too low. Wanted to get the offset/width issue taken care of first.

It'll be easier for people to answer your question if you reveal what offset you are running as well. As for wheel width, 19x10 is common for E63, so if really depends what offset those wheels are.

What is the width and offset of the stock set up we have.

What's funny that we don't remember is in 2010-11 the stock size was 18 not 19. So the 20s some add is actually a big jump. As the suspension setup is the same for all years.

OK, here's the info I got directly from Vorsteiner
FRONT 19x9 ET 38 - these are spot on
REAR 19x10 ET 40 - these stick out a tad bit too far for my liking

So for those of you running aftermarket 19x10 wheels in the rear, what are your offsets for the rear wheels?

Ok i ran 20x10's on my E63 wagon and 2010 sedan with ET39 rears... keep in mind the 20 inch part doesnt matter as I used a plus size tire set up to keep the diameter the same. I didnt have any rubbing on either car but the wagon set up seemed more aggressive to the naked eye. Both cars were lowered too. I did run a more round sidewall tire ala Hankook and Nitto Invos.

I'm running Vredstein Ultrac Vorti's 285/30 on the rears which are a rounder sidewall.

Me thinks I should go with 39 offset rears instead?

You should be fine with those angles.... Wheels camber in and the 2nd pic appears to show rubbing wont occur.
