Having trouble getting the right size wheel and tyres.

wheels currently have 9/19 et37 front 9.5/19 et 52 rear
with tyres 255/35r19 front and 285/30/r19 rear

1st has anyone here with an E63 put on winter wheels and tyres?

Have found some wheels with 8.5/19 et 45 front 9.5/19 et 48 with corresponding winter tyres

we think these will fit as they are 19inch and should be within a few mm of the old offsets but really asking if anyone is running the E63 and winter what wheels sizes can you use if not the full original equipment.

18" is better. More comfortable, cheaper, better in snow.

yes but cannot get a set of wheels and tyres with the same offstets ie et's. can get close with et 45 for the front and et 48 rears on 19's 8.5x19 and 9.5x19 but not exact. front should be 9x19 et 37 rear should b e 9.5x19 et 52

really seeing if anyone here with a e63 has winter wheels and what sizes they went for so they actually fit.

can get the tyres but not a wheel/tyre combi

Here you go:

There may be others. Can't say I much like the look of it!

This one is more AMGish: http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/mercedes_alloy_wh...

And there is at least one 19" 5-spoke AMG wheel with those sizes. This supplier does good prices on winter tyres and my dealer has never been able to beat his prices on the wheels themselves.

All I've ever done on the C63 is take the summer tyres off and put winter tyres on the same wheels. No need for a spare set of wheels.
