Tire Rack ROCKS! But the winters they sent me don't fit over AMG brakes
Let begin by praising Tire Rack, I have been a customer for a number of years and purchased 50+ sets of Winter wheels and tires from them with excellent results.
I spoke to my "guy" Cole last night after we trial fitted the below wheels with my blizzaks mounted. They did not clear the caliper.
Tire Rack is making it right, with no hassle, EXEMPLARY Customer Service as always.
Just an FYI to members.
The following wheels DO NOT clear the calipers on my E63 and I suggest that fittment on any Large /AMG Brake MB's would result in same.
Although they show available and recommended for their "winter package" do not select these wheels. Tire Rack is working on taking them off the "fit list"
18 inch MSW Type 21

Looks good. I think its better to buy a winter de of wheels and tires from tire rack then to buy the wheel and tire protection that you might never use ! At least you get more life out of the tires too. I priced wheel and tire package for my Cls, it was like 1200 plus sensors. So not bad.
