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 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.

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 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.
