Added SL65 AMG wheels to E55 (Pics) plus question
Hey all, I just upgraded the wheels to the SL65 amg 19 inch wheels and put on new Michelin A/S 3 tires on the vehicle (245/35 275/30)

What I was wondering is if I got the proper fitment, I added pics and I like how the vehicle looks now but I was wondering based on your opinions is there enough space between the wheels to prevent rubbing? I added pics to show the space/room between the tire as of now (I use Sport 1 suspension setting and sport mode). Would it cause a problem if I went to Sport 2 suspension? Or if i hit a big pot hole?

Thanks for opinions...

I added pics of the vehicle after being parked.

I recently got these wheels too, love the look!

8.5Jx19 ET 25 and 10Jx19 ET 28

I have 255/35/19 and 285/30/19 on them now, and with this stance im having now there is no rubbing. I want to correct the stance however and for that i will need 245/275 or 235/265 to make it work. Its in sport1 on the pics.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Elhonaz has the SL variants of those wheels, yours may be the w211 option. Rears are .5" wider.

To be honest I think it looks damn good with the 18" reps. And comfortable it is 😀

Very often on Ebay.

You can also find OEM Mercedes AMG wheels that have been refinished.
Here you go!

authentic...
19x8.5 front
19x9.5 rear
don't recall offset numbers but there is only one...
19x10.5 is much harder to find and of course different offset...
