Will these offsets fit on a 05 E55 ?
Looking at rims and found a place that has exactly what I want in stock. However its offsets are used for a 350z. The size of the wheels are 19x9.5 +17 / 19x10.5 +18 and was wondering if these would fit my 05 E55? Not sure if those offsets would bang against the BBK's? 
Thanks!

AFAIK you need minimum +31 rear offset, with +36 being "ideal", +31 is ok with 275/35 rubber on 19"/9.5" rims.
You need +36 for 285/35 on the same rims.
Your offsets will easily clear your bbk's but will without doubt trash your wheel arches.. esp the 10.5 rears... you need 40+ offset for those...
Jangy... u r the guru on this ... am I right re 10.5" 's?

rim question/issue
We have a 2001 E55 AMG with new 275/35 - 245/40 tires. Am trying to replace the RIMS. Was sold new rims that are 18" 8.5/35 offset and 9.5/38 offset ... and was told they would fit just fine but not without spacers and longer bolts. I am told that the original size rims are 18" 8/31offset AND 9/35offset.... advice? ideas?

the car would not move even slightly without making a really nasty crunching sound with the new back rear rims on. Front ones had a spacer and still there was a slight whistle sound when I drove.
I've been told that to modify the original wheels would be a mistake because you are trying to fit a square peg into a round circle to some degree.

Sound like Volk Racing wheels to me according to your offsets, used to have that exact setup including offsets on my 350z. I ran the GT-S model, but definitely way too aggressive for the E class
