Will SL55 Wheels/Tires Fit W211

17s are too small, 20s are too big...

thinking either 18s or 19s at this point. If I go the route of 18s, will SL55 wheels fit my W211? Here are the specs:

FRONT WHEEL:
18 X 8.5". OFFSET 30MM WITH 255/40/ZR18.

REAR WHEEL:
18 X 9.5". OFFSET 33MM WITH 285/35/ZR18.

The Wheels & offset seem to be ok, but, not sure about the tires... or, I could be completely wrong and nothing will fit... Thats why I'm asking.

Please see link to the auction I'm referring to:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=8072087172

Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I believe they do. Some member posted pics of his W211 and what seems to be SL65 rims. His car looks sick!!!

I am running 285 in the back with 255 in the front on the SL65 AMG rims and they fit fine. No rubbing issues at all. Go for it. The car will look gorgeous.
