E430 4matic 2001 & ML430 2000 both Silver / Ash
URGENT can these wheels be used on E430 4matic?
I know there has been similar questions but not exactly the same issue.
Here is my question.
I have an E430 4matic 2001. Someone is selling a set of OEM AMG wheels with used but at least 75% life left on them in very good condition.
Tires are Pirelli 6 All Season, 235-45-17V rated.
Rims;
2 ea AMG 7,5" 17 ET37
2 ea AMG 8,5" 17 ET30
The seller removed these from his E320 non 4matic replaced with 19" rims.
Since these tires are same dimension (size) does the rear 8,5" make any difference to my 4matic even though they all fit perfectly?
Please tell me why they won't work if they can't be used on 4matic.
What is a stagger?
Thank you.

I drove back home from your place (about 80 miles) The ride was very nice and smooth. Plus I did not see any warning light turning on. Thank you for the deal.
By the way, your car is very well kept, one of the cleanest E320 I have ever seen. Keep in touch.
Let me post the pictures of your car I took.
I will post my E430 pictures as soon as I clean the rims!

I own a 1999 W210 Mercedes.
Staggered sizing just means that the rear wheels are wider than the front. Which pretty much cancels out tire rotation. From what ive heard, staggered setups cannot be used on all-wheel drive vehicles, but im not positive....
Are those CLK wheels you have?

MBWorld Fanatic!
if you enjoy yourself while you're riding, that is probably good enough validation.
if you're bent on selecting accouterments with the intent on satisfying others,
you'll discover that it's near impossible. it's like buying a silk tie, watch, or
underwear. one way or other, someone is going to laugh or sneer. I dont sweat it.
live long and prosper.
