Don't forget to factor in the stock negative camber setup too. When the front wheel travels up and down and turning, there may be a few more mm left to play with from the calculations, but i consider that as a “buffer” zone
I think your advantage here is there are plenty of people who have figured out good setups for the W213, like Vic and what I.T. Guy and bobblehead are suggesting.
Alternatively, using the site I.T. Guy recommended and some hillbilly garage testing using sticks and fender washers stacked on the lugbolts of the stock wheels, you can arrive at the right dimensions to buy everything once and arrive at this:

So it can be done.
This looks like a perfect fitment and stance!!! Are you running any camber kits?

That was my W205 on coilovers, Vossens and K-Mac camber. At the time I couldn't find anyone else who had done it on that platform, so I had to figure out the exact dimensions on my own.

Think I'll avoid the use of sticks. LOL
You nailed the look on your W205, I can only imagine how much work that took you.
From looking at the site I.T. Guy suggested, I played around with a few different specs. I like the safe bet that bobblehead mentioned especially with the front, but as far as the rear, would 20x11 +52 still work? From the fit website it appears that it will poke 15mm more than stock and feel that would appropriately move away from the sunken look.

Thanks, I think it came out well too!
Well? I’d say Perfect.
Please do the W213 and report back.

LOL. Aw, c'mon, you're not a real shade-tree mechanic if it doesn't involve wood.
Thanks Mike. I'm not familiar enough of the 63's dimensions to comment, but I hope someone who is can chime in and help you.
Well? I’d say Perfect.
Please do the W213 and report back.
Thanks dude!
Before I picked up my E43 I had already gathered the intel, was working out the wheel widths, offsets, etc. I had an evil plan and was ready to execute.
After driving the stock E43 for a couple of days, I forgot how enjoyable just driving is without having to pay attention to every pebble and dip in the road, or going into panic mode when entering a parking garage.
As much as I miss the semi-flush and slammed look, I think for this car I'm just going to do spacers and extended lugs on the stock wheels with a conservative ~26mm drop.
Of course, like most of us here, I could change my mind tomorrow, lol.
BC Forged HCA162's in brushed dark black 20x10 fronts and 20x11 rears at MAXIMUM W213 offset. I finally nailed the look. Lowered to the low setting on my custom air suspension module for these pictures...will most likely ride at -7mm front and back.
Did you switch your rear tires back to 295's as they looked a bit stretched on a 11 wheel vs your 305's back then?
Adding my take to this thread -- although I know many have seen it (linked here). I got my w213 e63s fitted with some HRE classic 300s. All the pics are in that thread, I'll only post a few here to not clog up the thread
Color: Brushed Dark Clear center w/ Polished Dark Clear lip finish. Front: 20x10.0 ET 10 LS: 2.5 (Michellin PS4S 275/35/20) Rear: 20x11.0 ET 52 LS:2.5 (Michellin PS4S 305/30/20)
It depends upon how the lugbolt seat is cut in the wheels. MB OEM wheels have ball seat lugbolts. Many aftermarket wheels are cut with conical lugbolt seats.
An example is when I swapped my MB OEM wheels to Vossens I had to get new conical seat lugbolts for them.
The OEM TPMS will work on most aftermarket wheels and if not, aftermarket TPMS sensors work also as long as they operate on the same frequency and have the same sensor abilities (pressure and temperature).
There are many aftermarket lugbolt options, I've used Motorsport Hardware and they were great quality.

I personally have a 21’ E63s so the W213 AMG platforms are nailed down and have perfect fitment. You can see some of my work on instagram, if you guys ever in need of wheels and wanting to save some money whilest keeping the same performance, material and technology shoot me a message.

**THESE ARE CURRENTLY FOR SALE:
- 21x10.5 et+49
- 21x9.5 et+9
- car is lowered here by -40mm all around with no rubbing
for w213 E63s 2017-present
see images below.
21x10 and 21x11 with 265/30/21 and 305/25/21. Rear tires are needing replacing and will be going to a 325/25/21 and once the fronts need replacing will be going to a 275 or 285 as it’s seems that it works on these platforms. I will be going to a second set of 20” wheels for light track use. Have a builder (has done 3 sets of 3pc wheels for my other vehicles) that is willing to build me a set of 3pc Forged wheels for this platform. I’ll post pics once these are built. Plan is to do 20x10+13 and 20x11+52 based off the posts on this thread. Tires will be 275/35/20 and 305/30/20. Here are pics of Signature wheels and others wheels I’ve had built before.

You guys make some seriously cool stuff. I absolutely love some of the "replica" designs you've done.
It’s been done before, don’t foresee any issues other than maybe having to raise the suspension a bit. I’m
not lowered too aggressively so hoping it’s good to go.
