With 38 offset, they should fit just fine. Would probably push the wheels further out to the corners for a more aggressive look.

Difference is so slight you wouldn't notice the mild 1/4" push outward toward the fender. If you like the style and the price is right I say go for it.

Double check that the TPMS are the same frequency for the 221. $2k isn't a great price but it's fair presuming condition is like new.

I see, will try to find out the frequency.

What would be a Great price if aftermarket flavors are not an option?

Here is how I broke it down: the brand new tires alone would be about 1k installed. leaving brand new condition rim for 1k. If TPMS works as is then thats just cherry on top.

Ill be honest 19's are to small for the w221 and w222. plus if there not staggered they dont look good. I have the stock amg 19's that belong on your car in my basement if your interested.

Thanks but I already the purchased takeoffs from a w222. I love the machined titanium grey finish on those.

I was looking for those w221 oem era 19 or 20's originally but did not like how that silver finish looked on a palladium car.

I think it looks good, I want to get a set. My 221 has oem 19s with 255/40 tires.
When I get 20s I should run 255/35 tires?
The Lug Bolts are the same?
Can I take the TPMS sensors off & put them on the new wheels?
Thanks

Did the OEM w222 forged S65/63 wheels on mine. Needed a 10mm spacer on the front for a flush look and the center lock cap had to be cut down on the back of the fronts only in order to fit on the hub. Still screws in tight and no issues. (Hub on the front of the S is long.) Drives like a dream, just hating on East Coast pot holes still...
