2017 E43 AMG Wagon (import from Japan)
E43 Caliper Template (for testing wheel clearances
Hi all,
I've got a 2017 E43 Wagon which came with the factory option 20" wheels (20x8ET20 front, 20x9ET49 rear).
I am considering going to an 18" square setup, with 19" as a fallback position if I can't get 18" wheels I like to fit over the E43 brakes.
Current thinking is 18x9ET35 front and rear. The concern I have is if the wheels will fit over the E43 front brakes - offset/spoke design is not an issue, just the barrel diameter and the radius of the brake calipers.
Does anyone have good measurements (or better yet a brake caliper template)?
