13" E550 wheel hub flange depth
So I got a good deal on a new set of wheels someone had ordered the wrong offset for themselves and they happen to be almost a perfect fit for my AWD E550, the issue I ran into is the hub bore on the wheel is 57mm when my old wheels are 66mm about. I can get them bored out but what I'm having difficulty finding is the depth they need to be bored out to. I unfortunately do not have a garage at the moment to take a wheel off and measure it. Wondering if anyone knows or if I'm just gunna have to wait for a non snowy day and take a wheel off to measure it.

You could call the wheel manufacturer and see what they think about your plan? Can you do it might be less important than should you, or are there safety concerns, IMHO.

Usually most aftermarket wheels are bored over most stock OEM bores and you need to add concentric rings for a proper fit. This seems odd, they are that small. As my friend has indicated, you should call that wheel company and check if they can be bored out.
