Planning on getting new wheels...need advice
Im looking at getting these wheels for my 97 E320. Could somebody post a pic if they have these wheels on their car? The wheel specs are
18x8 32MM
18x9 35MM
Will I have any clearance issues? Im currently on H&R springs and #2 pads all around. Will I have clearance issues with 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 tires?

You
might need to roll the front fenders.What model are they off of?You may need rad lugs if the seat and length are different.
Have you put the thought into what expense the camber eccentrics and rear links are going to run you so you can get it aligned properly?

yes they will fit just fine. W210 e55's have the 18 inch AMG mono II with
18 x8 et31
18x9 et 35
and yes the tire size is also the proper ratios. who makes those wheels?
Why not go for true AMG/Mercedes/German wheels instead?

My car has been lowered with this setup for 6 months now and I have no uneven tire wear that I can see. The car still tracks straight and the steering wheel is centered. Im planning on aligning it as soon as I get new wheels on it. Where can I buy the rear links from?

or lensolo or k-mac kit.H/R are a little stiffer spring than eibachs ,but I bet when you get it on the hunter machine you will see it is way neg camber on the rear.
AMG has factory rolled fenders,check your clearances on the front,rears will not be an issue

i would say probally not if you run it in the rear but its a possibility. I run 265/35/18 in the rear and i dont have rubbing.

running 265 - ET35 in the rear on my 99 E320 and not even close to rubbing
on outside or inside. dont have time to take photo or anything showing the
available clearance until the end of the week. if you're thinking 275, you'd
be needing another 5mm or so on each side (more than mine).
