E 43 aftermarket wheels newbie questions
Hi all, I’m new to this forum, I’m trying to get some help and advices regards to these aftermarket wheels I trying to order from fitment industries. Due to the limited availability offset they offered on the wheels I’m looking at right now, I wanted to know if I order a set of wheels for front with 19x8.5 offset + 35mm 245/40/19 if this going to fit on my e43 amg (according from willtheyfit.com I believe I needed atleast a 10mm spacer in order to have clearance between the tire and suspension) please correct me if I’m wrong. Now as of the rear, sizes that fitment industries has offered is 19x9.5 +35 offset and I’m planning to run 275/35/19, (also according from willtheyfit.com, the result of this new offset +35mm with the 9.5 width will bring my outer rim poke out 20.4mm compared to oem) I would like to know if 20.4mm is too much and cause the wheel sticking out of the fender or tire rub against the fender please.
stock e43 amg wheels I had right now are front 20x8 offset +20 and rear 20x9 offset +49
im trying to go downsize because of all these crazy potholes I’ve been driven cracked or bend my rims and caused a lot of leaks. So please if anyone has any inputs or suggestions or it doesn’t look right to you, please please let me know or correct me. Thanks all your help!!!!

My advice, don't buy wheels for a Mercedes from Fitment Industries, and NEVER buy aftermarket wheels that already need a spacer. Also, I'm willing to bet they're cast wheels which you will quickly find out are gonna crack under the weight of your 4,000lb car.

without the use for spacer and aftermarket wheels that closely matched the factory specs (on offsets), there are only a few out there to choose from.
Alutec Ikenu
MSW Urban Cross 48
OZ Leggera HLT
As for other brands, you need to investigate the load rating on those wheels before buying as well.

In my opinion, have them custom made. I had wheels for my E63S custom made by Vossen. That way you will have no issue with fitment. Good luck!

what everybody else said. Just get the right forged or flow forged wheel to begin with. I have TSW flow forged on an S-class, they are rated for the load.
