diameter of rims.. for e320 2003

Question..

I have 2003 E320.. what to put some staggered wheels on mercedes.. i went to website bigwheels.net to look at some mandrus wheels.. they listed that..

19 x 8.5 for the front would fit

19 x 9.5 will not fit. that maximum diameter of the rim is on 9.. ? is that true??

I see some post that some guys even put the 19 x10 on their cars.

9.5 on the rear (even 10) will fit, 8.5 in front will fit, the most important thing is to look at the offset, the incorrect offset will give you problems. There are some different opinions on offsets out there, I bought my wheels from Tire Rack and left the headaches to them, buy from other sources online and you run the risk of getting it wrong.

Somebody with more experiece can chime in with the correct number for the offsets.

Cheers

Edward

I recently bought a set of CLS-500 18 inch wheels for my W211 and it just about fits (tight, tight). I do not have the exact numbers on hand but you should check out the size of the E-55 wheels-tires on your owner's manual. 18 inch is plenty big enough for an E.
