I would be concerned about 16inch wheels being able to clear the large 14 inch rotors and calipers on the front. I believe they will fit as drag radials on the rear.

I believe that 16" will fit the rear, provided they clear the rotor and calipers, and have the correct offset.

Drag radials..

16s will fit in the rear.. No chance in the front though.

Thanks mate but i am in Australia.

I can get 2003 MB C180 Kompressor 16" rims for $200 for 4.

Does anyone know the width of the C180 16's compared to the E320 16's?

you will need a 20mm hubcentric spacer to allow the 16" wheels to clear the 4 piston rear calipers.

Hi,
I have brought a pair of CLK wheels, PN: A220 401 0002 lightweight and forged, I believe they are 16 x 7.5" wide, does anyone know if the Hoosier drag 255/50/16 tyres will fit here? Believe I need a 20mm spacer. Going on a E55 W211.
