CL500 Monoblock wheels?

I'm guessing they'll probably be too wide or the offset will be wrong or whatever (it'd be my luck), but has anyone used them? They're the 18x8.5/9.5 and offsets of 44/46. There looks to be a clean set at a good price but it seems most people use the E55 AMG Monoblocks.

i believe offset will be sunken in 10mm spacers might make them fit flush

I dont know what car you have however you may also have to watch the front tire size if AMG. I had 245/40/18 Bridgestones and they rubbed with 18X8.5 35 ET

Its a 99 e300. Do the different w210s all have different wheel well setups or something that'd make a wheel fit like an e430 but not an e320 or something? I'm still so new to mercedes cars.

E320 and E430 are the same. The E55 has flared fenders to fit larger wheels/tires. With that being said, my 2001 E320 fits E55 wheels just fine and it's lowered some.

44/46 offset is too much and you'd have to use spacers. Spacers are not only additional hazard, but cost of quality spacers +custom bolts don't make any price looking good anymore.
Keep shopping around.

correct me if I am wrong here but I believe the only difference between the E55 fender section
and the E320 and E430 isn't so much that it is 'flared' but that the wheel arch lip which ordinarily
something like 7mm (wag) has been flattened to more like 3-4mm.

I don't know. All I know is that there is a visual difference between the standard fender and the E55s, especially on the rear. A local guy had an E55 that had a rear fender replaced and they did not use the E55 one. You could see the difference when standing behind the car. He never noticed, some of us did at a meet and he was pissed. It came up when he mentioned rubbing on one side since his car was lowered some.

I had to get custom bolts when fitting W211 wheels on a W210 and they were only around $60. Not too expensive. I'd never run spacers on a car.
