CLS 18" Wheels on '06 E350?
I talked to my dealer and they said that the 5-spoke, 18", CLS wheel (non-AMG) will fit my E350. It seems that most CLS wheel sets are staggered, which I want to avoid on my 4-Matic. Is it OK to buy 4 of the CLS fronts (8.5" wide)? I'm planning on running with the same size tire that would have come on the 18X8.5 wheel (245/40/18). Thanks for your help.

You can run
staggered as long as your rolling diameter is the same.Check et and applications.If you have a lead on 4 of the same be sure they match the proper et on your current rims.

Thanks, ohlord. I just did the calclulator and it's showing 2mm more inside clearance and 14mm more outside extension (using the 8.5" wheel). Since this is based on just the wheel, do you think I'll be OK since the tire will be 245 vs 225? I'm thinking I'll be OK based on those results, the dealer's OK, and most postings for CLS wheels referencing that they'll fit newer E-Class cars. Thanks again.
