Hi Everyone,

Need some help please. I have a 2003 SL55.

Trying to find a nice 19" wheels to fit my car. I really do not want to go to 20" for 2 reasons. Ride quality will suffer and my roads in N. Indiana SUCK!
Wheel damage and bending is a real concern.

To accurately fit the wheels I need to know 3 measurements.
The Brembo ABC clearance of the brakes.

Does anyone happen to have these figures or know them already?

Many Thanks -O

Don't know of clearances, but these are the wheels I have fitted. They fit perfectly along with the Michelin Pilot Sports. I have attached a couple of images below. Hope this helps :

Mandrus Manheim Wheels - Painted/Gun Metal
Front 8.5" x 19" ET 25 mm Tyres : 255/35 R 19
Rear 9.5" x 19" ET 25 mm Tyres : 285/30 R 19

Don't forget wheel bolts for Mandrus Wheels have taper and not OEM ball seats: M14 x 1.5” pitch, 60︒ Taper Seat

you can go 8.5 to 9 front, 9.5 to 10.5 rear 30 et is good but can range from 25 to 35
dont know any measurements

Thanks Guys
Trying to get measurements for fittment on Varrstoen or Vossen wheels.
Looks like the barrel of the wheels is going to be too tight to fit a 19" rim.
May have to go with 20"

stock brakes?

Yes Stock brakes

Of course, mercedes puts 19s on these cars. Even 18s will fit. Like the guys said, 8.5 and 9.5x19 are stock wheels. most any 25-35 et will work, but I did my brabus with 30.
8, 8.5, 9 front and 9.5, 10, 10.5 rear x19 30et will work
