Had a set of mint AMG wheels pop up near me from a 2014 E63. They are 9x19 and 9.5x19. My 2021 E63S uses 9.5x20 and 10x20 so there is a 0.5” difference on both wheels.
I’m looking to run these as my winter set, mounting the 265 and 295 Michelin winters.
Think I’d run into any issues or would these be perfectly fine to use?
Need to know the offsets of the wheels in question. Improper offsets, especially the front can cause rubbing issue.
is it … front 37 and rear 52 ?
proper winter sizing is front 265/40/19 ; rear 285/35/19
You will need spacers for the front. 10mm-12mm and longer bolts
price is on the very high side, imo. If $2400 is US $, then it translates to $3300 Cdn. You can buy the exact set, brand new for $4,000 + taxes, for reference.
How do you know if the wheels have no bent / damages. Once you wire the $, you have no recourse.
Need the seller to send you pics of the wheels with stamped wheel part # on it, size and et spec … to ensure they are not replica. So, do be careful.

Proper sizing is actually 295/35/19 for the rear as per the factory. Unless there is some reason to disregard the factory sizing?
Price is in Canadian, that’s probably why it seems high to you.
As far as spacers go, I’ve never ran them before. Are they a pain or are they no problem to run? To get the OEM Mercedes winter wheels it’s double the price so I’m trying not to spend that much.

you need the rear wheel to be 10” wide to properly fit the said 295/35/19.
without front spacers, there is a potential chance of rubbing the suspension components when you turn your steering wheels, lock-to-lock especially.
As for that listed as Cdn $, you need to see the wheels in person to justify paying $2400. My 2 cents. After all, they are 10 yrs old wheels. Take the wheels to the wheels/tire shops and have the shop put on the balancing machine to ensure they run straight, no wobbling. Inspect the wheels for any signs of cracks
there are multiple threads here in the forum discussing of winter wheels. Finding aftermarket wheels are possible now, unlike many years ago when the only choices are either get Oem 19 or having the 20” to do double duties.

There is no general rule that says what tire fits what rim. Go to the tire manufacturer's page and check their approved size. For example, my 245 Pirelli torture tires are almost an inch narrower than Michelin 245's and Firestone 255's have the same tread width as the 245 Michelin. The average tire shop screws it up or won't be able to communicate the difference.
Need to look at the tires you intend to run...or CAN run.

Yeah I mean end of the day, I don't really care what specific sizes I'm running for tires, I just don't want any ratios to be off to upset any of the cars computer systems. I know some cars can be very sensitive to that stuff and mess up a bunch of systems.
The specs I found online indicate they are 37(front) 52 (rear).
Offsets for the W213 seems to be 25/55.
Well, I sold my 2023 forged cross spoke 20” to a guy with a w212 and they fit.
So I think those W212 wheels will fit your W213 - the fronts will tuck in 10-12mm more compared to stock which isn’t terrible for winter as long as everything clears on the inside side. If not run a 10-15mm spacer. I run spacers on my car no problems.
Be careful of lug bolts! I’m not sure how thick the W212 wheels are and I know the W213 stock bolts are way longer then W212 . If using spacers they probably wont protrude into the hub too far. But without might be too long and will really, really ruin your day. I know as in the past I ruined hubs by accident with too long bolts. Whoops. Expensive mistake. Measure how far stock W213 bolts stick out the back of stock w213 wheels and then test in the W212 wheels and order appropriate length bolts if required.
