Brake question

I'm wondering what the specs are on the C55 brakes. I'm selling a set of wheels that wouldn't clear my front calipers on my E55 and am curious to know if they would clear on a C55. Thanks

Just say "In my opinion these will fit" that line will release you from liability and if the sucker believes you act very calm while you proceed.

I was already duped by a local E63 owner who did the same thing to me when he realized they wouldn't fit on his E63 and then refused to take them back after telling me they'd fit my E55. I'm not looking to put someone in the same situation

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.

What

is the ET of the rims front and rear?
W211 5 by112 pattern will fit older w210 E series if the proper offsets.
So post that info and then in good conscience you can put them up for sale on others forums and the member classifieds.

some w211 setup will work for the w203/209 and some will not work.

I'm not entirely sure. They are the CL63 reps that are up on e-bay but I can only seem to find them in 19" and 20"

He said the guy he bought them from said they'd definitely fit an E55. When I asked if he'd be willing to buy them back from me he said "I have no use for them as I already purchased another set of wheels" So basically he just dumped his problem onto me when he was just dealing with the same problem. Says a lot about his character. Not to mention I had to get my stock tires removed from my stock rims, mounted and balanced onto the CL wheels only to find out they didn't fit so they had to remove the tires again and put them back onto the stock wheels. I should have just gone with my gut and painted the stockers

Note to self: NEVER by anything from this clown!

I'm surprised you actually had the nerve to post that publicly. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot...
