What do you guys reccomend?
Im getting 19" Monoblocks 2 for 01 E320. Should I get 19*8.5 all around or 19*9.5 for the rear? Im also planning to lower the car with H&R's so I want to make sure I get the right size wheels. Thanks in advance for your help.

The 19" Monoblock II require 14mm lugbolts and is mainly for the W140 S-Class. Are you prepared to modify your hubs also?
Go staggered if you don't mind not being able to rotate tires front to back. If you want to rotate use the same size front and back.
I believe they also require spacers because the offsets are very high:
19X8.5 et46
19X9.5 et46

What is the advantage of going staggered? What are "HUBS" do I need to upgrade them? If I went with 19*8.5 all around, will the wheels fit and look right? Sice theyre mostly for the "S" class. I'm new at this so any advice is greatly appreciated. Would I stillbe able to lower the car w/ H&R's?
Thanks

Actually I meant to say 'rotors' not 'hubs'. The hub is the center piece of the brakes used to center the wheel on the car. The hub size is the same for all Mercedes - 66.56mm.
To use the 19" AMG Monoblock II you would have to re-drill the lug bolt holes on the brake rotors to accept the larger 14mm lug bolts used on the W140 and W220 S-Class cars.
That 46mm offset, which is the back spacing on a wheel is too large to use on a W210 E-Class and spacer would be required to lessen the offset. If you needed around a 35mm offset and the wheel has a 46mm offset you have to put a spacer betweeen the wheel and the rotor. A 10mm spacer would turn that 46mm offset into 36mm.
