Hi everyone. I have another post about wheel fitment on my e55, but I cant locate it so I decided a new thread.

My E55 currently sitting on 240/35/18 9.5" width in front and 275/35/18 10.5" on the back. I dont know about the offset. I wonder if the wheels in the link below would fit on my car?

I know they are not staggered. I am selling my car soon, but would love to keep the current wheels. That's why I have been looking for another set.

Thanks in advance.

How much offset would be too much for w210 e55? I have browsed around and notice spacers would help?

If you click your username it drops down a box and one of the options is "find more posts by Elliott Lo". When you don't have a lot of posts it makes it easy to find the one you're looking for.

I'm not sure if the wheels will fit. Give it some time and you should get an answer.

I have looked into "New subscribed thread", thats why.

you need to make sure your offset it correct , Honestly , Dont cheap out on the tires . In the end you will be more happy buying a new set of tires instead of used rims and tires .
This car does not like cheap tires unless they are basically new . I made that mistake and paid for it buy buying a new set of rims and tire and the differnce was day and night .
If you do decide to get rims , try to make sure they are staggered , like 8.5 front 9.5 rear . And you should try to keep the offset for fronts like 32<good luck finding them though unless they are custom made> like 18x8.5 35mm I put 30 offset in the front and needed to put a spacer because the wheel rubbed against the brake caliper . The rears you should do with 35 offset wheels like 18x9.5 30mm offset. Not just any aftermark wheels will fit this car, and most of the newer replicas are made for 40+mm offsets and I believe those will stick out too far and probably get fender rubbing issues and might need fenders rolledout .. There lot and lots of older threads you can search that explain more better . personally would look up a seller on here POWERWHEELSPRO he sells replicas for a good price and have had good eperience with him bcuz them rims on there now dont look like they should be on that car no offense
right now I have 265/35 18 winter tires on rear but I wouldnt go anyless then 275/35 18 on rear and 245/40 18 on the front . just me though everyone entitled to ride on whatever they like
