19" E63 AMG reps $600 shipped!
I'm selling my 19" w212 E63 AMG reps. 8.5 front and 9.5 rears with ET35 offset. Wheels have about 200 miles on them. I decided to go size bigger. Couple barely visable marks, other then that they are like new. They come with Mercedes center caps. Looking to get $600 shipped to your door. Pm me with any questions. Thanks!

I wonder if they will fit my 2008 E350 4Matic, which came with 18" rims. It didn't come with a staggered wheel setup, but I know a few people running an 18" staggered setup on 4Matic. Your thoughts...

This is a common question on the forums. Short answer: yes staggered will work just fine, and these wheels will definitely fit your car.
More elaborate answer is as long as you keep the rolling diameter from from to back within a 1/10th inch tolerance then you are fine - and ESP is pretty good at picking up on whether or not your wheels are in spec. If you're a performance oriented driver a staggered setup could introduce a little more understeer to that handling extremes as you have more grip out back than front, a lot of this is up to the tire though. That isn't necessarily bad since it sometimes makes it easier to control higher horsepower cars that way when some understeer is dialed in, you're not in an E63 but it's still a concern. Basically, you can absolutely do so as long as you pick the proper tire setup where the side walls: here is a quote from this thread I made a while back, thanks to threeMBs:

Correct. As long as front and rear diameters are the same or close (within 1/10 of an inch), then width does not matter.
For example, stock 4matic size of 245/40-18 is 25.72". So to comply with 4matic, rear staggered size could be 275/35-18 (at 25.58", a bit more than 1/10" less) or 285/35-18 (at 25.85", a bit more than 1/10" more) - both not identical, but close enough.
Once you get to 19" or 20" wheels, then sizes become 245/35-19 & 285/30-19 (these are basically identical at 25.75" & 25.73" respectively) or 245/30-20 & 285/25-20 (235/35-20 & 275/30-20 are identical at just under 26.5" and can be used on stock W211 too).
To put it simply, for W211 4matic (same for W212 4matic as well) rear staggered tire needs to be 40mm wider than front (add 40 to first number) while aspect ratio needs to be "1 size" lower than front (subtract 5 from the second number).
