I've been trying to buy the right wheels for my 2004 S 55 without luck So far i change 3 set of whhels and lost so much money. All of them rubbing the rear fenders .Anyone knows the offset for this car ? My last set is Mandrus made for mercedes benz but bs. Same thing rubbing in the rear ..not all the time but ...any ideas ?

The stock ET is 44 for the front and 44-46 for the rear (depending on the year)...these are for the W220 S55 and S65 cars.

Yeah that sounds about right.

I was taking a bit of a gamble when i ordered my wheels as they were described as 35mm offset, however when they turned up they were 45mm offset and went on with just millimeters of clearence on the rear when i lowered the car. Im pretty sure the 35mm ones would have caught the rear arch.

This is incorrect. The stock rear ET for a w220 s65 is 60et. I had 18" custom drag wheels made with a 55 so I could fit a slightly wider rim, but it is close and depending on the rubber you get a tiny bit of rubbing on the inside with 285's. the inside of the stock rim is stamped 60et. The aftermarket rim companies did not believe me so I took photos and measurements.

Correct, 44 offset for the front and 60 for the rear on staggered rims for an 06 S65. These rim are different in width but both are 19" in diameter.
