'99 E320 Wagon
Tires/Wheels combo question '99 E320 wagon RWD
Sorry to bother you with this, but I have a good deal coming and I am wondering if it would/could be used.
17" rims
Front 47 offset 225/45/17
Rear 58 offset 245/40/17
My car is a base 1999 E320 wagon RWD for now. It will have a M113k swap done as soon as time and money allow it.
Please let me know if you have any thoughts, info on this

The stock for a w210 E430 is 7.5" rim with ET37.
I have CLK500 calipers up front and my stock wheels fit. Now my Monoblocks don't fit unless I use a spacer.
If I understand offset right...you measure from the middle of the rim.
At the moment, AMG fronts are 8" ET31. Adding 5mm spacer will make the ET26.
ANYWAY, looks like your getting 7-8" rims so offset needs to be about 31-37 (depending on rim width)...you'll need spacers to clear your suspension components.
Anyone can correct me since this is an issue I'm running into as well!

I think you'll have issues hitting the droop arm with that offset...at least on the facelift sedan you would.

I wouldn't bother with staggered setup on a '99 wagon, but these are coming off a 2013 C class, super nice with brand new tires and I'm planning on doing an E55/S55 powertrain swap in the next year or so. Figured I'd get the ball rolling with the wheels.
Not a douche over here, but I need to put new tires on the wagon, only reason why I am really considering buying this setup. It's mint, brand new take offs.

I'll double check the offset on the current rims I am getting but ohlord already got back to me on PM and confirmed I'd need spacers for such an offset.

V6 -> V8 wagon will take some work. I just did a 4.3 to 5.5 and it was simple because of no electronic fiddling.
Keep us all posted!
