Whats the offset?

If they do fit then expect the rears to hang out a little, 10.5" is quite wide as far as rims are concerned.

Its all about the offset, with a fender roll you can fit 10.5 very easily, without rolling the fenders it will be close. I can tell you from experience that a sl/cls 10.5 will not fit without rolling the fenders. But it can be done, heck I run a 10.5 in the front

Yes buy that because the offests on the SL/CLS wheels is to low right ?

What offset do you run? What size tires and what do you run in the back? Any problems rubbing? Did you have any fender work done? Any close up pics?

I run 9.5 fronts and 10.5 rears. I tried to get 285's to fit in the rear by rolling the fenders, that was a no go, so now i am running a 275 in the rear.

To be honest, I don't know the offset. they started out as r230 fit wheels. I added 1" to the rear inner barrel and 1.5" to the front inner barrel (3 piece wheels) then added a 10mm spacer in the front. I have rolled the fenders, trimmed the rear bumper, "repositioned" the rear abc lines etc. Its all stock sheet metal though with factory paint. no cutting. It took some work however this isn't my first time fitting wide wheels to a car. If I have the abc in it's lowest setting and 4 people in the car it will occasionally rub barley on the plastic liner. that's about it. you just have to be aware of the front fenders when turning and going over a curb. I dont have any recent close up photos, the car now sits about 3/4" lower. these are from when I just fit the wheels. The tires are 245's and 285's and it has no poke, the rim lips will go into the fender

Correct It takes some some "work" but it can be done, most people don't want or don't have the tools to do it though and it takes a minor tire stretch still

They are forge brand 20" 9.5" front 10.5" rear and came off from a w221 2007-present s550 model. I would think they will fit on my 2002 s55?
