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.

Also I really don't think that is going to be a really safe car with those 16" wheels.....

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.

2004 E55 AMG W211

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.
