Has anyone put S550 wheels A2224011502, A2224011602 on a E550 4-matic? The offsets and sizing seem right, but am just looking for pics. Google was difficult to find anything. WIDTH FRONT 8.5 AND REAR 9.5 OFFSET FRONT 36 AND REAR 43.5
They will definitely work, although the rears will be further in the fenders than the fronts so you might want to space them out. Also, look into getting longer lugs. S-class wheels typically have a thicker pad so stock lugs may not have enough thread to safely mount the wheels. Learned this the hard way.

...but not too long as you can ruin the rear brakes if they are too long
when you put the bolts in the wheel(off the car) they should stick out the back of the wheel about 1/2"(13mm) - 3/4"(19mm)
Thanks everyone. I bought the wheels and managed to find a picture from a Russian site of a white E550 with these wheels and think they'll look even better on my black car.
Finally remembered to post some pics. I took these right after installing them. Forgot to get TPMS sensors installed, so I'll need to take care of that, but the look and ride are very nice. Thought they'd fill the wheel wells a little more and it could probably come down an inch, but I'm good with it. it's a daily driver so I don't want to worry about scaping or anything. Have a Pressertech stage 2 tune on as well, and it is very nice, plenty fast, and smooth.
If you're wondering, that's my 1986 Starion/Conquest project and my 2000 Saab 9-5 Aero wagon with a manual and all the bolt-ons, cams, fuel pump, tune, suspension, that's turned into a project.

I may be wrong, but I don't think that you are supposed to put non-matching rims F/R on a 4MATIC. Perhaps someone could clear this up?

Non-matching TIRES are not recommended as they can have different RPM, what applies to RWD as well, but seems 4M is more sensitive to it.
You can still put the same tires on different rim width.
The key to success is matching RPM. Common knowledge is that the system will accept up to 3% difference, before CC stop working and lights will go off,

The overall diameter of the wheel and tire combo needs to be nearly the same. I used https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/ and, with the tire sizes I chose, I have the exact same diameter front and rear. This means both fronts and rears are turning the same speed, so no need for worry.
Thanks! FYI, I did have to get longer wheel lugs, so I went with 2015 S550 size, since that what the wheels are off. Also, this is on completely stock non-air suspension.

. Would like to see how they look on your car
