Wheel Upgrade - HELP


Hey Guys,

New to the forum, pardon the noob.....

Just bought a 2004 ML350. Looking for an upgrade for wheels. Hoping for a factory wheel to keep the look, but in a larger size.

suggestions? Pics would be most appreciated.

I believe the ML55 amg wheels 9Jx18 ET52mm will be too wide (stick out beyond your present wheel wells) unless you are using the oem wheel flare kit.
You will also want to maintain a similar tire circumference.
Do a search here on this forum as there is lots of good info on what setup will fit your requirements.
