Wheel comparison W211 vs. W212

Good evening All,

I was wondering if ALL wheels that came factory on a W212 will definitely fit on a W211?

I am planning on upgrading my wheels on my 2003 E320, but unfortunately recently purchased a set of AMG wheels from a 2001 S500 and I was hoping I could make them work. The wheel fit is too tight and I do not want to install spacers, so the hunt for wheels will begin again.

I would like to stick with OEM wheels, preferably AMG, but need to know if anything from a W212 will fit the W211.

Also wondering if any wheel from a W211 E55 or E63 AMG will fit with now problems on my E320, which is completely stock.

Thanks in advance.

I have two pairs of w212 e63 amg front wheels that I use on my 211 and it fits perfectly fine. Any wheels from the w211 amg's should fit as they are all just bigger due to brakes. If you're worried about the w212 wheels, just find out what the size and offsets are.

Mine looks like this.

Thanks very much.

Why do you have 2 sets of front wheels?????? Afraid of damaging the fronts only?

I am cheap so by using 2 set of front wheels, they are 19x9 all around and not staggered setup. That means I can rotate them to make them last longer and can also qualify for rebates when buying tires because tire manufacturers often offer $70-100+ cash back when buying a set of 4 tires at once.

Now that's pretty good, I like that. :-)

And I like your wheels, I think I will be shopping for those.

Got some more pics of your car with those wheels?

Part number should be a2124012702. Be careful though because there are cls63 amg wheels that look the same but have different offset and will not fit your car.

I'll send you a PM with more info.

Here's what I could take on the fly. The floor isn't leveled so that's why the heights look different.
