W218 AMG wheels on 211
I have a friend looking to get rid of his 218 amg wheels. Has anyone tried to put these on a E55 yet? Wheels are like in the link.

Going off of memory, but fronts are mid-ET so should work fine but rears are super-high and will most likely need 15mm spacers or so to look right.

Thanks for the help. I got them put on today after work. They fit perfect with no spacers needed. They due rub when the car is up in the air but with it at ride height level no rubbing. I'm pretty happy with the new look.

No rubbing at all, no spacers needed. I'll post some pics when I get a chance.
