wheel/offset question

Wheel spec:

18x8 et44 +13mm from stock
18x9 et44 + 9mm from stock

Going to run stock tire sizes.

Will I run into any fitment issues?

Rim design would be the first hurdle. Aside from that, OEM front wheels are a tight fit as is. Bringing the front wheel in an additional 13mm will probably run into something (brake or suspension components).

ejsheltra: going on e55 w210, the wheels are aftermarket, the owner states they were on a C-Class previously but who really knows for sure?

ruBenz: With the tight fitment, it really begs the question, what other Mercedes wheels will fit the W210 E55 without issue?

fangtl, take a look just above the front wheel at about 11:00 o'clock. There is a suspension bolt that sits very close to the top of the tire. That is a tight fit. Going beyond OEM 31mm ET (offset) will place the front tire even closer. I have used 35mm ET aftermarket rims and barely fit a credit card in the gap between the suspension bolt and the tire. At 44mm ET, that bolt will probably rub the tire. Also, few aftermarket rim designs (other MB OEM designs included) will clear our larger brakes. With that said, applicable aftermarket rims designs (other MB OEM designs included) on our W210 E55s are absolute minimal. And, I won't even get into lug bolt issue. Good luck.

I agree I got ET35mm on a 8.5 wheel and I have less than 1/8" clearance. With the new tire (michelin) even though they have the same size # (245/35/19) they are wider and move it even closer to the suspension bolts. Not all tire manufacture make their tire the same as other.
