I am a proud new owner of a 2012 E550C. I learned that the widest tire I can put on the car is 255/35/18 on the OEM rims. As a result, I am looking for new wheels to put on the car so I can go wider.
I've always liked to stay OEM so I'm wondering what wheels I can put on the car. Is there a picture thread or spec thread?

There are several threads on this topic. I personally like the idea of updating with bigger/better factory/OEM wheels, so I went with a set of forged 19" AMG center lock look wheels from a C63S sedan with 245/35 and 275/30 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. I feel like these wheels are the ultimate upgrade for an E550 coupe, and they look and fit like they came on the car as original equipment (no spacers needed). These rims can be found in this machined finish or in black.
I also updated the E550 with wheels from a C63s (different design than above). I used the same tires and sizes as listed. Its the perfect upgrade.
245/35
275/30
I posted some pictures on the Offset and Wheel thread.
Updating an old thread due to newly increased tire sizes and still no rubbing issues whatsoever and no spacers on factory C62S wheels. I had Michelin Pilot Sport 4S in 245/35R17 and 275/30R19 sizes because the 4S did not come in the sizes I wanted in 2019, only Pilot Super Sports at that time. Now the sizes I wanted then are finally available in a 4S, so I just mounted them and sure enough I was right they fit perfectly! New sizes are 255/35ZR19 and 285/30ZR19. Hope this helps!
