Talking Wheel Upgrade for 2000 E320/E430 Help!

Hey Folks, I am about to purchase another MB but this is the first time I have upgraded wheels. What is the best size wheel without making modifications and still getting that wheel well "filled" look. Should I use spacers etc? Should I get wider wheels in the rear? Any difference in the sport/non-sport config?I was thinking about 19inch Neeper Moxy - Thanks Mark.

That's gonna look nice. I almost went with that wheel. Staggered is gonna look a lot better but if you don't have a camber kit you can plan on replacing expensive tires pretty quickly. 19's are the way to go but 20's are cheaper.

Welcome. You might get more replies posting in the W210 (1995-2002 E class) forum on this board. This is the forum for the newer model E class, 2003+.
