Winter Wheels for E55 w211
Hi All,
Does anyone know if I can run 16" or 17" wheels for winter? Will they clear my AMG calipers? Any suggestions? I am running aftermarket 20"ers now and sold my 18's last year (dumb dumb, I know). I also like to know experiance with E55 in winter as I have not ever driven it in the winter....

MBWorld Fanatic!
You can't run a 16" or 17" wheels for winter, although they might clear the rear calipers. They will not clear the fronts. 18" is the minimal size needed.
