So its come time to get some new wheels and tires. After much looking I am thinking about getting a set of 19 inch HRE FlowForm FF01's.


I've googled for hours trying to find a picture or info of any W211 (let alone an AMG) running them - and so I want to be sure that they will fit before buying them.


according to EAS (http://europeanautosource.com/merced...rmed-wheel-set) the size I want would be:

FRONT: 19x8.5 ET47 (5x112, 66.6mm for Mercedes-Benz)
REAR: 19x9.5 ET45 (5x112, 66.6mm for Mercedes-Benz)


This offset doesn't jive right in my mind - can anyone comment on whether this will work or is totally off?


Car is bone stock 05 E55 AMG.


Ideally I would like to run Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's
F 245/35/19
R 275/30/19


As the Pirelli PZero Rossa's just don't seem to be holding up well.


Thanks for any insight.

You're going to want to run spacers to the tune of 20-25mm for the front and 12-15mm for the rear to get those to fit decently.

I agree those offset seem to be really high, and the widths seem narrow as well. This looks more like a c63 fitament/specs.

If you want something aggressive but not crazy I'd suggest at least doing a 19x9 +27-30 and 19x10 +30-35.

I'd suggest looking through the wheel threat for a better idea of what specs to go with.

Yeah spacers are not an option. Thinking I might just do:

VOSSEN VVS-CV3 - Matte Silver Machined - F: 19x8.5 / R: 19x10
F: 245/35/19 R: 285/30/19
