I am looking for photos of E55s with 19" wheels, both W210 and W211. I looked through the E55 photo gallery and wasn't able to find many with 19" wheels. Could you big wheel owners please post some pics for me to help with the decision

Thanks

One of my favorite's on this board...I would post pics but I got 20's and not sure that's what your lookin for...

TrackMeister

Excellent, your car looks amazing with the Brabus wheels. The car also looks a bit lower than stock?!?!

BenzoBoi, please go ahead and post yours with the 20s!

Stephens:

I was wondering how your ride feels with the 19" rims.
Is it rougher than the original 18" rims?

BenzoBoi

Here ya go. I'm sure you prolly seen it around here and there.

The ride is firmer with the 19's. Here in Melbourne I have to be careful because the roads aren't the best. I don't think 20's even though they look great, would be useable on a daily driver here.

The car has been lowered by my dealers service department using DAS. (The MB service program that runs on the laptops they plug into your car for diagnostics)

Hi stevens,

I that the lowest airmatic can go ? I want to make my car height probably 2-3inch lower than yours, is that possible ?

thanks

Damn!! both of those car are hot

stephens

Not without rubbing.
Edit: sorry I didn't answer your question, this is the limit of the electronic adjustment without a lowering module. You can also lower by moving the position of the wheel position sensors. There is a thread on the board covering this. A word of warning though, my car rubs the front whilst turning and hitting a bump e.g. when entering a petrol station, so I will be raising it slightly.

They sure are hot. Oh, that Obsidian black. Had someone in another post said bland styling? Yeah. Sure. Okay. Fine. Whatever you say.

19" moda's. lowered all around with 'blue' H&R springs. Lips rolled to fit 285's in rear:<br>

Car looks dayam good with those rims...

E55 KEV

Autostream, Car look great! That are the wheel widths and offsets? Thanks.


What's up with this on your website:

"Temporarily removed for legal reasons, yikes..."

Autostream

thanks guys, I just called tire rack and they set me up with these 19" modas. They know their sh*t about wheels and even sent me special lugs to use since the offset if dif.




As for my photo album, I blew my engine so there is a lawsuit pending

Autostream, your E55 looks nice and clean with those wheels! What tire sizes are you running? Do you have more pics you can post?

Sorry to hear about your engine

E55 KEV

Those Moda R6 are 19X8 & 19X9. I don't know the offset. The lugs are not special, they are required. Mercedes used Ball Seat Lugbolts and most aftermarket wheels use Cone Seat lugbolts. Dont forget to put 5 of the OEM ball seats in your trunk for the spare. I am suprised the the rear need more fender rolling. If it is 19X9 et35 it seems that 285 width should have been fine.

If the Moda front wheels is 19X8 et35 double check for rubbing. I changed from OEM 18X8 et31 to 18X8 et35 and some tires with square shoulder rub even if the same US OEM size of 245/40/18. I could not run my Nitto 555 up front due to the wide tire shoulder. Dunlop 9000 fit with a 'hairs' worth of space.

The tire rub inside on this nut:

Good point there...I had the same trouble when puttin on my rims. I had 20x9 in the front and 20x10 in the rear. I went with 255/35/20 in the front and 275/30/20 in the rear. The rear fit fine but the front would not fit due to that bolt. I guess it was my fault for trying to go aggresive. But I have moved on to 245/35/20 in the front and have no problems.
