I just went through (actually still kind of going through) this exact same process with my '16 wagon. Except as the car is my DD and I drive 20K miles a year, I decided I wanted to stick with 19's for ride quality and wheel integrity. I went with a two piece forged wheel built to my specs, and like you, I took my time figuring out exactly what width, offset and tire combo I wanted to run. I ultimately decided on 19x9.5 ET38 (outside lip pushed out 5mm & inside lip pushed in 7mm) and 19x10 ET48 (outside lip pushed out 10mm & inside pushed in 2mm) with 265/35 and 295/30 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. Sadly, when the wheels arrived last week I found there was very light contact between my tie rod end and a raised portion of the barrel. So I'm currently working with the wheel company to remedy the issue. I think we're going to end up swapping out the barrel for a 9" wide one (leaving the outside spec the same), thus drawing the inside back towards the outside of the car and avoiding the interference. I'll probably end up dropping back to a 255 tire as well. But that actually pairs better with the total diameter of the 295 anyway. Can't wait to get tires on them and get them mounted!

bro. let me know if you have a answer. I have the same need like you. DD this car want 19 inch wheel with Michelin tire

Luckily, the roads here are great, otherwise I would have stayed with 19s as well. Your rears are going to fit exactly like the cls63 rims in my video. Which in my opinion is perfectly spec'd. The 295 is a much better choice than the 285 since 295 is a full 26-in tall to match the front. Sucks about the front being too wide, but yeah the 9 inch barrel should fix the issue. I wouldn't feel bad about running the 255

I'm here on my own quest to find new wheels for my '14 E350 wagon. It currently has the stock 18" AMG package paint-matched silver double spokes but the rear is tucked in real bad imo 😅. And the forums say the same thing about the front clearance issues. Looks like 9" will have to due 😢 And love the channel @ExoticCarDIY 🤙

@@chrisvmartinez, you can fit 9.5" wheels in the front for sure, you just have to be mindful of what size tire you're going to run and obviously get the offset correct. The issues I had with my 9.5's not fitting was an unfortunate circumstance of how the barrel of the particular wheel I was going to run had a raised section that interfered with the tie-rod end. With a different barrel design or a 20" wheel, the 9.5" would have cleared in all other aspects. I just didn't want to run a 20" wheel and liked the wheel I have selected enough to want to stick with it... even if in a smaller width.

If I still want keep 19 inch since it’s my daily. What’s the suggested spec? Keep all the same like original?

I like the factory 19inch 10 spoke alloys, I managed to find rear 10x19 cls rears last year in Germany new unused boxed factory clearance just also have to pay import taxes, but fills up the rear arches now stealth look , very happy 😊

Agree, they should have been the standard size for the 212 IMO. Sucks they are Hard to find now days.

Beautiful wheels they give your E63 that aggressive yet shuttle look. Very nice! They look like the Vossen forge 20 inch staggered on my E400. 😅

Just picked up a w212 E63S, previous owner put in a new wiring harness due to oil in harness and just did all the coolant pipes. Feel like those are the major issues taken care of. Love the car insane performance but will drive normal when you want it

For my car, I do think those two things combined with a reasonable maintenance schedule well keep your m157 and top shape that reduced the risk of having any of the scary failures people hear about. Congrats on the purchase enjoy

Similar to the Koya SF10 design which is a "semi forged" wheel

Hi *Mr. Exotic.* My other account got hacked so I asked Google to delete it. I commented on the latest video about tires for your truck. So, Amazon says the OEM rotors listed on your E63s pad and rotor replacement video won't fit. The OE Brembo's are currently on a massive sale at 245 per rotor. Wanted to check with ya before I proceed getting them. Also, in the video, your buddy made you custom spacers for the 390mm upgrade you did. Does the friend still make em? If they do i can just get the 390's and put those on for their benefits. PS didn't find the brackets you used. Lastly, cam shaft position sensor question, if the wicking from the sensor have begun (replacing those soon, parts already bought) and I have sprayed down the ECU with electric cleaner to just in case, what would you recommend as to do as well? I did find a little oil in the ECU harness and got concerned. Thank you sir for reading and replying. Have a blessed day and stay safe from the hurricane!
