18" wheels 10-11" wide on 500E ??

[Montana500e]

Is this possible?

Front 10,25x18 Offset30..

Rear 11x18 Offset 20

What do you think?

Send photos of other aggressive setups for MB 500E / E500 if u have!!..

Depends if you plan to drive aggressively or just idle around between Cars & Coffee events. Sizes above are pushing the limits of feasibility and sanity, and will very likely require "stretched" tires for clearance, which are never a good thing. @500AMM might have more info to share.

I have done the following:

Brabus III started at 19x9.5 et35 but the fronts modified to 19x10 and the rears 19x10.5

I suspect you could go as wide with the 18" diameter wheels

Those Brabus wheels are very attractive

My car still has the stretched tire setup as it had upon purchase:
18 x 10,5 ET19,5 - 235/40
18 x 11,5 ET29,0 - 265/35

I like to change this setup, either by rebuilding the MAE or replace them. Rebuilding will probably end up with 4 new lips + 4 new barrels to get it how I need it to be, even though with 5-10 mm spacers to clear the BBK brakes. A replacement may be a simpler option and 18" Neez Euro 6 or HR something is high on the list.

In case you want to buy the MAE we can figure out a price, preferably a pick up or at an agreed meet point. The wheels are 3 pcs MAE in very good condition. Tires are very old and passed beyond safety IMO, but can be rolled on of course.

Jeff, Do you remember what size spacers you were running with that setup?

Thanks

IIRC the fronts have a 10MM spacer and the rears have no spacer at all.
