Do W211 wheels fit W212?

Hi everyone,

Does anybody know if the wheels for a W211 fit a W212 without ANY modifications?

I'm talking about 8.0 X 17. Non staggered. 245/45/R17 tires all around.

Thanks,

-Ale

Here's the situation: The E350 that I'm getting comes with 16in wheels from the factory (I'm buying the car in South America), so I want to get original Mercedes 17in wheels to replace them. I love the 18s but the roads here make it impossible to have such low profile tires.

I called a dealership in Miami and they quoted me $480 each for the ones in the pic below.

I'm finding it difficult to find W212 wheels on the few websites that sell original Mercedes wheels, but I've found a few for the W211. The prices are much better and there are a couple of nice ones to choose from.

I don't want custom rims or replicas of any kind.

MB have 17" wheels like these as an accessory for the W212 for $1700.

They are available as a dealer accessory when you use the build-it option on the MBUSA site [link], so you can probably order them from a dealer.

The second picture was clipped from the accessory brochure.

I also found them and others on a website which looks to have good pricing (~850 UK Pounds) and international delivery. Here

Let us know what you do!

Looks like a big buy with little chicken legs.

Maybe it's the Wagon aspect that enhances the difference, but your 18's look waaaay better and more fitting.

That's great, post a picture when you get them installed.

...

K-A, Personally I don't see a chicken anywhere.
It looks like a beautiful vehicle to me.

I mean the wheels, "chicken legs" are when the "legs" are out of proportion with the body. I'm just too used to seeing 212's with 18's.

Still look good considering what I've seen some cars have to use for snow wheels.
