w211 with sl55 amg wheels?

as the subject states, would sl55 amge wheeels ( the multispoke turbine wheels) fit a w211 correctly or would they stick out too much? i think they would look close to the newer sport wheels,maybe a bit nicer. thanks in advance.

SL wheels should fit your E just fine, but you will have to change the tires to something a bit narrower & shorter.

SL wheels wont fit the W211. The difference in wheel offsets are too great. They stick out about 1-1/2 inches from the outer most part of the wheel well,

Most newer (r230?) SL & CLS wheels will fit the w211, but the SL's wheel offset is closer to an E than the CLS.

The older SL wheels (R129?) in larger sizes & widths are too low of an offset and would stick out significantly on a w211.

The SL AMG Style V (aka Turbine) wheels are 18x8.5 ET30 front and 18x9.5 ET33 rear, which is within a few millimeters of the W211 offset.
