E55 wheels on a 05 E320 CDI MPG Difference?
Hey All,
I am interested in changing out the wheels on my CDI, and I have seen that a few members have put E55 wheels on their CDI's, but I haven't heard about any change in fuel economy as a result... Did anyone see a noticeable difference in MPG?
Thanks!

Not much difference in fuel consumption, but expect approx a 5% drop.
It's a combination of a few things. Larger contact patch, heavier wheel and tire combo, tire pressure, camber, toe, etc.
