2009–2016 · saloon / estate
The W212 saloon and S212 estate came on wheels from 16 to 20 inches, with the larger sizes staggered on Sport and AMG Line cars. Owners mostly move to staggered 19s, and the E63 AMG uses its own offsets, which matters when swapping wheels between models.

Read these before choosing wheels for the E-Class / E63 AMG: they explain the offset, fitment and hub numbers in this guide.
Starting points for a build. Read the notes with each setup, especially if your car is lowered or has different brakes.
An owner on the MBWorld W212 forum runs 19x8.5 ET38 front and 19x9.5 ET43 rear on an unlowered car, with 245/35 R19 and 275/30 R19 on one set and 255/35 R19 and 285/30 R19 on another. He says ET33 to ET35 also works at the front.
A 4MATIC owner on MBWorld runs 19x9 ET38 front wheels with 245/35 R19 tyres and 285/30 R19 at the rear, and reports no rubbing at the front. The two tyre sizes are within about 0.1% in diameter.
Check the exact setup
There is no confirmed range for this car yet. Compare a known wheel with your proposed size and measure both sides.
Measure before ordering
A maximum width has not been confirmed. Tyre shape, ride height and alignment all change the available space.
These figures belong to the setups described here. Combining the widest wheel with either end of the offset range does not guarantee a safe fit. For how ET moves the wheel in and out, read wheel offset explained; for how far the tyre can sit out, see flush, poke and tucked fitment.
Upload a photo and start with a look that suits the E-Class / E63 AMG. Try the wheels, colour and stance before you spend on parts.

Owners do, but keep the tyre diameters matched. 245/35 R19 front with 285/30 R19 rear is within about 0.1%, while larger mismatches can upset the traction control.
