Wrong offset.
the bolts on the E are thicker, but u can use the C bolts, but then the wheel will not sit properly, u will have problems. they are not a direct bold on.
another word, it wont fit !?! i just dont want to use spacers or having issue with fenders 2.

i thought the split spoked E55 AMG rims were ET31 for the 8.5" width. is that
not similar to that which is needed for the C32? if so, I'm thinking you have a
chance at these rims fitting, provided you select proper tires. secondly, if your
bolts are 12mm x 12mm radius ball seat, note that these E55 rims utilizes 14mm
x 14mm radius seats. RAD hybrid bolts sold by otisincla.com are made in 12mm
diameter x 14mm ball seat x various lengths. the cross section of the E55 rim
is .75" (based of ball seat...to hub surface).

Explorethey should work. Those type-IV split spoke should have the offset of 18x8.5 ET30-31 and 18x9.5 ET33. It comes on some SL500 sport and the E55. all you need is get the 12mm bolts

no, the rear wheel offset for the 9.5 width is going to be more like 38-39

i doubt you'll get 245s to fit in front. it might work with a spacer if you are not lowered, but it'll be sticking out of the fender.Originally Posted by Eurowow

otheriwise you lost contact surface as shown here

- the length of the bolt must pass through the rim, and extend the same
length as your current bolts through the rims you're using now. any
shorter and you may compromise fastening abilities. any longer and
you risk damaging the brake as the excess length protrudes deeper
into the hub and braking mechanism
