Wheels Help Needed!
So I've seen some pictures of the new E350 wheels on the w210, and must say they look good.. Does anyone know if these will fit a 1996 E320 perfectly, or will they need spacers? They are 18x8.5 All round with 38mm offset, tires are 225/40/r18, just need to know first before buying. Any input is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

2 tenths
of an inch difference in diameter. Within 7revs per mile.
Only less than 1/2inch wider.
You will need the special lugs since w211 have different lug seat and size.
Rad/otis carries them 50 bucks a set.
You will lose some ride quality and you will notice it.
Everything is a compromise after all
Don't over pay those things can be had dirt cheap

Thanks for
the reply ohlord. So all I'll be needing is just a set of lugs and is there a specific lug size that I'll need? Hmm, will it be rougher on the road? The set I'm looking at has been used for about 800km, so relatively new. Its selling at $750 cdn, what you think?
Thanks!
Thanks!

500 hundred
miles on a set of tires is almost new. Would cost at least 600 US just for the tires so the rims for $150 is a good deal. Even with the 50 for the lugs.
A better deal would be to offer cash $600 he won't get much more and never hurts to ask.

Wheels look nice and I like the color of the car too. That blue is very rare in my area of the US. How is the ride quality?

Thanks a lot! Yeah I haven't seen that many in this color around my area either. Hmm, I definitely noticed the difference from stock rims, it's a bit rougher on the road. But I don't mind the drive on these either.

Looks great!
Wow, those wheels and tires look most excellent on your W210... makes it look like a different car! I had somewhat the same experience when I went to 17" 5 spoke wheels, but I think yours look even better, especially with that color... I don't believe I've ever seen it in my neck of the woods (or lack of woods actually) either.
Great lookin' ride man!

Car looks great! Did you end up needing anything other than new lugs at $50 per wheel or was that $50 for all four wheels.

Thanks for the comments guys! Yes I rarely see this color around where I am either!
I purchased 1 set of bolts for all the tires and a set of wheel locks. The total for those after shipping was about $200(To Canada). Installation (mounting and balancing tires and fitting them in) was about $100. But aside from that, no other things needed!
