I just got my new E55 AMG first of all Sweet 2005 with only 60K miles black on black. Came with painted black rims , not a fan of them.

Just cored some rims off of Craigslist after a lot of looking and I know these are a smoking deal. They are off a 2006 CLS AMG. Chromed which I really like with a black car and are hard to find.

I hope I didnt mess up on getting these. Will the speedo be correct ? Will they fit ok without spacers ? Here is the size. Car is stock height.

255/40/18 Front and 285/35/18 rear


Rear rim is 18x9.5 +33mm

front is a 30MM offset.


thank you

They will work, but the rears are much taller than the stock sized tires.

Congrats on the ride. did you buy the car on Ebay? I saw an add that fit your cars description on there. Good price.

If that is the car, it looks like it had black painted CLS wheels on it. i'm sure you could find someone here to buy them. If its not the same car i'm thinking of, then just ignore me

It was on there. Had the terrible tailpipes too. He still had the stock tips he is sending me. They are 19 inch rims and I think 275s in the back. Looks pretty good and was planning on selling them I did get these rims already tonight. They are VERY clean and the tires were actually a good 50-70% left. $450 for the whole set

What will this do ? change the Speedo ? What can I do about this other then getting new tires ?

Looks like they will be about 1/2 inch taller and change speedo by 2%. doesnt seem too bad.

Get a 285/30 in the rear the 285/35 will look like a tractor tire.

Ya 2% is usually acceptable.. On some cars (usually 05-06s) the traction control can freak out.. But you should be fine.

Like Shardul said, the 285/35 is a very big sidewall.. I went 285/30 myself.
