C32 Wheels on W210?

Will the AMG type IV wheels from a C32 fit my W210?

The wheels are 7.5J x 17 (front) and 8.5j x 17 (rear).

Cheers,
Ed

Just responded to your PM...yes but the fronts would stick inside the fenders and may even rub somthing on the inside, besides it would look ghey! If you have the choice, go 8.5" ET34 all round. Add, if you like, 5mm spacers in the back for better handling and looks.

Those 17" W203 C32 wheels will fit without any problems. They are:

17X7.5 et37
17X8.5 et34



The W209 CLK55 rims also fit with an updated look:

17X7.5 et37
17X8.5 et30

Also available to fit W210 are the same updated look AMG Styling IV rims:

18x7.5 et37
18x8.5 et30

Given the choice, I'd go for these cuz the spokes are less curved at the ends and the centres are more shallow creating a bigger looking wheel....ok, I know they're bigger too but the design does create a bigger looking wheel.

Both the CLK55 IV's and these also have a better offset in the rears....but I still think an ET30-32 for the 7.5" fronts would look better tho', especially given the E55 fronts are ET31@8" (nothing a spacer won't fix ) That's why going 8.5" @ ET34 in the front would be better - no spacers needed

Oooops, its only the W211 E55's that have the straighter spokes and thinner rim......special bolts needed, don't do it unless you're up to it....
