e63 wheel fitment-inquiry

though our stocker 55 wheels are:

18x8, ET30 front & 18x9 ET39, rear

would the e63 amg wheels fit our e55 perfectly given they are:

18x8.5 ET38 front, 18x9 ET39 rear

...seems rear perfect match, but front metrics a bit different? any feedback from anyone? also, would brand new lugs be required for the e63 set. k1 motorsport seems to have a great deal on the e63 wheels ~$2850 (all in) versus delaer at ~$4k+. thanks all...

Yes, they would fit. I posted a link a to MB approved sizing. But I've got to go and get a beer so I leave it up to you to find it.

Nope the wheels will not fit the W210. Offsets are way off.

You can mix and match the W211 rims, but can't put them on a W210. Saying $2800 is cheap compared to dealer's $4K is off. The wheels are $500 each brand new, so I sure as heck wouldn't pay more than $2K for just the rims. Many are selling wheels and rims for about $2500.

is there a place selling wheel set for ~$2k new? would be great to know as k1 has been best new price have found versus dealer/s. agree-there 's been some great pre-owned e63 wheel/tire pkgs in $2-2.5k range as of late.

Yes, there are a few wheel shops in LA that sell any of the AMG/MB rims for about $500. They advertise on Ebay (how I found them). There are also some that sell take offs from the ones that clients upgrade.

Call Harbor Motorsports in Santa Ana. They are a sponsor here and they will be able to get you the right deal. They are great guys and low stress.
