I´m thinking of buying these wheels from the new S-class, and putting them om my E55.

Do you guys think they will fit on my E55-04 without any mods?
Tires would be 245/35-19 fronts and 275/30-19 rears.

I´m worried about the big difference in ET as opposed to the originals which have ET30/38.

Many thanks

anybody...?

I'll jump in. You will have a bit too much rim on the inside (i.e. not aggressive enough ets). But, I think it will "fit" without rubbing. Worst case is you will need to get spacers (which i hate). As long as you stay with the current tire sizes, then it should fit. It won't be ideal, since the rims will be really tucked, but it'll fit.

Thanks, that makes sense. Btw, That´s a nice set of wheels you have there. Details? Have you posted any hi-res pics of your ride here?

Truly fat, my friend, but does it rub anywhere with those huge dimensions?
Is the car lowered? How and by how much?

No rubbing whatsoever. Actually, I run 275/35/18 on the front with a set of AMG style IVs (18X9et39) as my OEM setup and it doesn't rub either.

The car is lowered with the RennTech ELM. The pic in my sig is how I ride around and that is at about 80% drop. Total is supposed to be 50mm. It gets pretty low and again, NO rubbing. I spent YEARS figuring this out. I dunno why getting 295s to fit without rubbing has been such a goal.
