What do you think about the CLS wheels? I photoshoped that on but i'm thinkin about gettin them. Saw them on ebay. They are 18x8.5...is that cuttin it too close on the width?

Hey, i have 18 x8.5 on my car, think it all depends on the offset of the wheel, of which i have no idea. I bought mine without much know how and was lucky, but chances of lowering are zero as the wheels at the front (well mine are) are extremelly close to the struts, i cant even fit my fingers in the gap. Originally i had spacers but this results in rub on the guards so i removed and have had no issues yet. The only problem i do have is that with out lowering the car it creates an illusion where the rear wheel looks smaller then the front, very annoying . So next time i was thinking 19`s at the **** end or narrower wheels so i can lower. The wheels look pretty good, if worse comes to worse can always on sell if they dont fit

IMO they won't fit, or there will be a lot of work required. I had 17*8 with an offset of 37 and they rubbed at the front like ... Fender rolling would sort that out but I decided to lose those rims and got myself some AMGs..

Undoubtedly those wheels look great on your CE but fitness issues are a concern. I wouldn't do it unless you are anticipating and prepared for the fender works required.

They have a 35mm offset. I'm going to have to do a slight fender roll anyway since the setup i have now already rub on corners with bump (16x7.5 with 23 offset with H&R sport springs). Anyway, i think those CLS wheels will be more worry and work than practical

I think those wheels would look perfect... i found these replicas that are supposedly 18x8, but they're chrome...

I think they look great.... not my style but nice. hope they fit if offset is right. don't worry I have 18x8.5 in the back and looks like I would fit 18x9 if I would have some. Good luck.

zed- i saw those too, i'm wondering if they are a mistype...if not, makes me wonder if they can be found in silver.

go- The width concern is more in the front with the issue of them rubbin on the strut. What you runnin in the front?

They wont fit on a normal W124. On a 500E they'll fit perfectly however... I know because my friend has the same CLS wheels on his.

Man....those are the same wheels that I had in mind...IMO they do look pretty damn sweet but i dont know if they would fit.

Yeah those fit. 18x8 35mm offset...They should fit all w124s even 500e but the O.E CLS wheels are the wrong size and offset..

I managed to get 4 front 18x7.5 5x112 bolt crossfire wheels but i didn't like how they look so i sold them..

shadowgriffen

damn...I never thought of that, that must have looked nice, no? You really didnt like the way they looked?

which crossfire wheels do you mean? can you show pix Ab?

YNVDIZW124

These but they come in 18x7.5 in the front and 19x9 in the back.

These wheels use 14mm wheel bolts.

Your W124 has 12mm wheel bolts.
