Yeah I think 305 would fit!! Are you still planning on putting 305's in the back?

They look great! However, I hope you won't hate the additional stretch of a 295/30 on an 11" rim compared to your 305/25 on a 10.5" rim.

That depends on your definition of "a lot." If you look here:

https://www.tirerack.com/tires/Spec....omCompare1=yes

You will see all the specs on the Michelin PS4S. You are going from a tire with its minimum rim width (10.5") being your matched rim to a tire with its maximum rim width (11") being your rim width. You will have at least some stretch on it, but it may not bother you.

I'm not a fan of stretch at all, and just pitched a set of Michelin PS4S which were mildly stretched and suffered splitting around the inside of the tire both inside and out on the front tires. Tread remaining was still more than 50% remaining. Also, stretch puts your gorgeous rims at more risk for curb rash.

I know, it's really more of my opinion, but I'm just offering my opinion and some experience as food for thought. :/

Don't know about those rears.....

Don't know about those rears. with those tires....bette test fit them. Remember later 21's had less room in the fender than earliier ones....And altho I'm not sure it's the right thing, I think you're probabyl going to be better off with a 285/30...depends on the year and the brand of tire...good luck....

Will 20x9 ET23 for the front of a w212 E63 sedan work? Or is the ET too low.

20 x 9 with et 23 could work but it would come down to the tire size as the 255 would definitely poke out a little bit.

Hello again, would 20x10 et 18 for front, and 20x11 et 52 rear work? I’m assuming no but it’s worth asking. Thanks!

That’s right. Seeing there is no front Camber (or Caster) and no rear Camber OEM to resolve costly, premature excess inner edge tire wear.

We saw the need and manufacture adjustment kits once again similar to what was fitted to 90’s models.

In the situation where you want to retain important “TOP OF TIRE TO OUTER FENDER CLEARENCE” we manufacture a Total System (Upper mount front and rear kits or lower mount).



W212 E63, E65 AMG:

FRONT KIT CAMBER ONLY #503616-1i $345 (Both Sides).
Simply replaces the lower arm inner bushes (retaining top of tire to outer fender). Is precisely (single wrench) adjustable - ultimate on car direct on alignment rack (under load). Also can fit without need for arm removal !


FRONT KIT CAMBER & ALSO CASTER #503616K $480 (Both Sides).
Caster bushes are Mono ball / 2 Axis significantly improving brake and steering response - replacing the OEM soft rubber and air voided bushings.



REAR KIT CAMBER ALSO “EXTRA” TOE #502126K $480 (Both Sides).
Also can fit without need for arm removal.


See website re Front & Rear upper mount adjusters along with uprated bushings for the 6 rear multilink arms.
(Less twitch, flex, loss of traction - especially when applying power to lane change / overtake).

Aesthetically what would look better, 295 on an 11" or 305 on a 10.5", me think the later? I always thought go for a wider stance and that's what you get with a meatier tire, no?

I like my sidewall profiles to match front and rear
Back in the day, I used to squish tires on there, but I don't like that look anymore.
I tend to favor a pretty much vertical sidewalk profile to slightly stretched look (which one looking at OEM setups seems to be the ideal for steering response and handling)
Anyway, my 2:55/30/20 fit perfectly on my 9 in front wheels
Because of the aggressive offset of those garbage variant Wheels, I had to run a 285 25 20 on a 10-in wide rear beard it was definitely stretched and looked Way too thin.
My new wheels are 10.5 in the rear and look even worse with the 285 on them.
I put those tires for sale, as soon as somebody buys them, I will go to a 305 25:20 in the rear
Which looking at my calculation should match the front profile as well as the height exactly

20x8.5 et 35 front, Rears- 20x10.5 ET 38. I believe these should work but funky look without the correct tires. What do you guys think and if so tire size to make the fitment decent?

There's no way those rears are going to fit, they're likely going to stick out about 10 mm past the fenders unless you're running some crazy negative camber
