Hi!

Heading over here from the 204 section to try and gain some information for a buddy. He has a W213 E63 4Matic sedan and wants to change the wheels. Something he is looking at is only offered in a 10 inch wide wheel, so would mean a square 10 inch setup front and back with that style.

He currently has the stock wheels and a 12mm spacer front and 10mm on the rear.

The front wheels being 9.5 stock and ET25 (or ET13 equivalent with his spacer) I believe means installing a 10 isn’t a huge jump, and the plan would be to use the same 265 tire. So then, to my mind it’s just a case of offset to push the wheel out further, something like at ET15 or ET20 to get a similar look as he has now.


Am I missing anything and, are they’re any pitfalls to be aware of running square on this car, even if stock tire sizes are used?

Thanks!

 

I have a 10 up front, ET 17 running stock tire. One thing I didn't like is the stock tire doesn't really have a protection lip any more because of the wider wheel.

 

Thank you! Would you think that changing to a 275 would cause any rubbing? I’m yet to stick me head in the fender and look.

 

275 fits no problem with adjusted offset - PLENTY of space inside.

I had a 275 purchased and mounted, but there was a whole separate fitment saga in the rear (20x11 et56 with 305/30 rubbed - see the issues https://mbworld.org/forums/w213-amg/...wheels-15.html ), so in the end, i chose to keep it stock size tires front and rear. I tried to install 20x10et17 275/30 and 20x11et56 305/30 and ther rears rubbed. the fronts fit totally fine

so now I have 20x10et17 and 20x10.5et50 running 265/35 and 295/30. I'l lprobably switch to 275 up front at some point because fo the lip issue
