Not sure which wheels


Im kinda torn between the two rims. Should i get the ones on the silver e550 i use to have or keep the ones on my grey e55. Reason being widest tire i can put on them is i think 265 width. Since my grey e55 has 18x8.5 all around.

I like the ones of the Silver E550 better. And I think that they would look killer on your E55.

Fitment is better on the silver one, the other set needs spacers

Lol me and a friend were looking at the 2 pics as we speak and I mentioned I'm getting spacers. I'm also getting 265 width tires today since I have 245's now. After I change the tires I will measure to see what size spacers. I think that will make a big difference.

Another AFTER

BEFORE 245/40/18


AFTER 265/35/18

In person there is a big difference. They do buldge but really not bad at all or as bad as i thought it would. I’m not sure if I’m gonna do spacers since it looks just about right with the quarter panel. These tires have excellent grip so far. Federal 595RPM’s.

E55
Silver looks better. I am looking for the same exact rims in 19" staggered. What size are those wheels? I can only find them for C63. Which ones are those? The gray needs spacers.

The wheels on the silver is my car and I use to have them. They were a staggered set up. Only issue I had with them is even with 245 width tires in the front although I was slightly lowered it would rub when I would make a turn and I hated that. Otherwise they were great wheels.

I actually would've really kept the stock ones but after getting it back from the dealer when they did my fuel tank they told me 3 of the 4 rims were bent on the inside. I went under to look at them and they were bent. Also the tire noise and the curb rash didn't help any. I just figured I would switch off the wheels and tires.
