Gents,
Will a set of 19" S550 AMG wheels fit on a S55 and clear the calipers OK?

i have to run my s55 w/ 221 19s on the car in the next height up from stock. the rears tires will rub over some bumps because of the stock sidewall.

I have stock 18" wheels on my S500 W/Michelin Pilot Sport A/S right now so i couldn't tell , but stock S550 19" wheels with good tires on should still give you an impressive ride . So when it comes to the wheels on the SL500 For some reason my ride is smoother and more refine with the 20" Mandrus than with the stock 18" W/Michelin Pilots Sport . ![nix](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif)

I have authentic brabus wheels on my s55 right now, both the front and rear lips on the passenger side is slightly bent upwards, and the clear coat is cracked at the bend. I could take it to a good wheel shop for repair but i am just going to opt out and get the 19" OEM. i am thinking of selling them.
