Hi everyone,

Just got my 04 E 55 and looking for a proper set of wheels

Planning to go with 245/35/19 Front and 275/30/19 Rears. The car has a RENNtech lowering module on it already, so can be adjusted.

I have spent several hours in the most popular W211 wheel threads, but need more info on that

The stock ET is 30 front with 8J and 39 Rear with 9 J

Usually we see aftermarket front 8.5J - 9.5J rear.

What ET should be there to look just right - avoiding any rubbing/fender modification, but not siitting inside.

Thanks!

hey make sure you ask around but from what i have gathered looking at some wheels myself for my 04 e55, the fronts ET around +35, and the rears i found up to a max of ET +45..... the rears with ET +45 will be very "tight"!! then you get into the actual tire: ie hankooks are not as "wide" as say the michelin pilots, so also bear in mind that each tire has their own "width" issues too! hope this is helpful and can get you going.

My fronts are 19x8.5 et 35 and rears are 19x9.5 et 45. For the fronts, I had to get 5mm spacers to clear the wheel oil cap (I am not sure of the right term). So if you get et 35 wheels up front, you will need 5mm spacers.
