AMG C-class Wheels on W211
Hey guys, I found a set like these locally for a fair deal. I was wondering if they'll fit my 2007 . I don't want to go 19" , or lower the car.
So will they fit or the high offset will require spacers? I believe offset is 44/49. Also, rim width is 7.5 front, 8.5 rear. A bit narrow?
If these will be too complicated to fit, what direct fit 18" AMG wheels can I put on? Does the CLS or SL have 18" packages?
E63 18" are pretty hard to come by. Please give some advice. It's my 1st E-class. I wanna do it right the first time but don't wanna spend more than 1200-1500$ on a nice set of AMG wheels...maybe I'm asking too much.
Let me know what you think . Thank you!

Have you considered aftermarket wheels? They should hold up pretty well if it's only in 18s plus it's only going to set you back maybe $750 for a set. An offset of 44 or 49 is too much, it's not going to fit. Most wheels for the 211s typically fall under the 35 to 38 offset range.

Plus the offset pushing the wheel way in...Nono.
I did a ton of research looking at lots of wheel setups on w211 and the CLS 55 AMG wheels look the cleanest in my opinion.
The more aggressive offset (25/28) will have the wheel sit flush without the need for spacers etc( at least that's what I read from people that installed them on their car).
Yes they are 19's and not what I was looking for, but when I saw this car with them on, I knew I have to have them.
Sorry for using the pic without permission. The car belongs to a member of this board.

19s are not something you want to throw on unless you're going to lower the car as well. The picture you have above, the wheels comes stock on 2009 e classes with amg sports package in 18s. There are options like this on ebay if you don't mind the fake logo. http://www.ebay.com/itm/18-Sport-Whe...5UJcvH&vxp=mtr

I replaced front shocks a couple weeks ago with some bilsteins and I was thinking to throw some lowering springs if I'm getting the 19's.
If I'm going for the 18's , they have to be OEM. But I can't find many....

I've had quite a few aftermarkets and have had no problems with them. OEM's aren't going to be bulletproof either. The wheels in my sig are OEM 19s from the w212 e63's. They're the toughest wheels out there made of forged aluminum and yet they were able to be damaged by potholes. Now I'm currently on aftermarket 18s and am not having any issues.
The most common OEM 18 inch wheels you're going to be able to find are going to be from 07-09 e classes with sport package or from any w211 amg car.
