I haven't posted since I sold my W211 E55 and I recently bought my W212 E63. I was really happy to get back into an AMG. So far the car has been nothing but good to me. It is a 2012 with P30 package. First mod I did was take it to a local shop near me called Speedriven (Mercedes kings) and had them install their downpipes. The car sounds fantastic now. I highly recommend that. Hopefully I will be back soon to get their flash. Next was H&R springs and links in back.
Anyway, I first mounted a set of cls55 fitment wheels which I thought I could squeeze on, however that was just too aggressive. They were AG forged f420. Specs were 20x9 25et and 20x11 28et. The front was right on the money, but the rear had too much poke. After stretching tires and rolling fenders I gave up. ( Which are for sale now) If anyone is interested.
So now i recently bought a set Volk G2 Forged wheels. Specs on those are 20x9 25et and 20x11 43et. The rear is now perfect. It literally has maybe 6-8 mm of room inside and outside. Here are some pics of both wheels. I wish the front sat about 1/2 inch lower up front, but not much you can do with springs. Tire size is 245/35/20 and 285/30/20. It definatly give the car a different look. Some may or may not like it.
Here are some terrible iPhone pics. I will get better one up asap.
Enjoy!

Welcome back. Your new toy looks hot. I have the same car except in Diamond White. Can you provide more details about how you lowered your car. Looking to do the same. If you can provide a link to the H&R springs you used as well as the links. I would appreciate it.
Also. Please let us know how it rides before and after you lowered it.
I've been rocking Volk TE37s on my various BMWs since 2001. Was going to get a set of ZE40s for my wagon but decided on another rifle... might still do it down the line though. Congrats, looks awesome.
