haha those wheels probably will blow up the calipers once you try to move your car due to contact.

As the stock E55 wheels are 18inch these wheels will clear the calipers on the vertical plane of the wheel. The offsets are different from a stock wheel so that may cause interference on the horizontal plane. The wheels may also look odd in the fenders with those offsets. The other factor is they are narrower so with the smaller tires will give less traction which these cars are already short of.

higher offset means pushed out farther... they should clear the calipers but may rub on wheel wells over bumps - let us know

sorry no...high offset would mean the wheels are sunk in towards the car. a zero offset would mean the hub center line is at the exact center of the rims width.

low riders run something like -30 or -45mm offset wheels with 13 inch to get that outside floating look.
