1999 E320 4matic Wagon
Wheel Fit Question
Hello all I am new to this site and hope to gain some info. I have a 1999 E320 4matic Wagon. I hate the wheels. I would like to update them to newer MB wheels. Are there any problems with purchasing wheels that are not off of a 4matic? What other years/chassis/models should fit? Any ideas or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

be sure that the rolling circumference (revolutions@mile) are within a couple
of percentage points. if the variation is larger, the cruise may cease to
function.....and if worst case scenario, it will put additional stress on your
4matic with potential for premature failure
crucial details to identify before anyone can tell you yay/nay
ball seat of the lug
wheel width
wheel offset
wheel size
tire size (to match your OEM rolling dimensions)
what car (year, make, model) did it come off of?
i like to use these sizing engines....
