C55 wheels on 06 e350 wagon?
Hey guys searched around for a while, no luck. Just wondering if C55 wheels 18x7.5, 18x8.5 will fit on a E350 wagon? Can somebody please help me out here? Lug pattern etc compatible? Thanks

You could always drill out the bolt holes. The VW/Audi guys do that frequently to mount Mercedes wheels onto their cars. It's 12mm vs. 14mm, so really only 1mm 'per side', if that makes any sense.
I think of more concern would be the offset. Seems to me that the offsets for the larger cars are more aggressive, ie. lower, the wheel sits out further away from the hub, as opposed to the C-Class. So while guys in C-Classes make them more aggressive, higher offset wheels from the larger cars work, going the other way might not work as well. The wheel could potentially sit further towards the hub. That can be rectified with spacers and longer bolts, but that adds to the cost.
Best to do some more research into the offsets, or test mount and then see what's what.
