Should. I would think that it is possible that you'll have difficulty with 11" in the back (instead of 10.5"?).

One of our vendors will kick-in here for you, I/m sure....

I have an oppurtunity to purchase these, I just want to make sure they will fit. All the e55 that I have seen have the 19's on, I hve yet to see any with the 20's on.

Not to change the subject, but does anyone produce a decent replica of the Carlsson Design 1/16?

Many of us on here run 20's on our E55. I run 10.5"s but many go the conservative route stick with 10". You're are going to have rubbing issues if you run 11"s in the rear.

cant roll fenders that are already rolled. Check your rears and see. I know mine are rolled. When i looked on the inner rears i was shocked to see that part welded and flat on the rear fender. It seems MB knew with the size wheels/tires they had on the E55 that they would have to do that.

Rolling fenders is really not what the name says. Most cars on the inside of the fender have a half inch lip(on the inside). This is the part that some roll in order to fit larger wheels/tires so they dont rub.

I checked your right, that is pretty cool that it comes that way, so reguardless of offset 10.5 is going to be max width?
