Just wanted to share this info for those who might be considering this change. I recently swapped my 17s for 18s. My car is a 2006 e500 4-matic wagon and came from the factory with 17s. The reason for the swap was due to NYC winters destroying the 17s. I've welded/repaired each rim at least twice, and the slow leaks were just out of control. The new wheels I installed came from the same year CL55 AMG. The part number for the wheels are A220 401 3402. All 4 wheels are 8.5x18 ET44. The stock offset on the 17s (I believe) are 38 all around so these fit quite nicely. I did need to purchase new lug-studs because the old ones couldn't reach the hub. New lugs were 14x1.5x47mm, though 47mm was a bit long, but worked fine. Before and after pics below. EDIT* Forgot to mention I added 15mm hub centric spacers all around.
