I am looking to upgrade the wheels on my Silver E55. Has anyone installed the w212 black E63 wheels on a 211?

If you know the size, bolt pattern and offset for the wheels you can figure it out by doing some searching on here. Might take a bit of work on your behalf.

You are absolutely right and I plan on figuring the measurements out. I was hoping to generate some pictures.

per https://www.wheel-size.com/ they should fit with spacers. Bolt pattern, thread of lugs and the center bore all match. The offsets are slightly different.

Here are pics of my wheels:

Nice. Works well with the facelift front clip, I think it would be a little off without. Rounded corners with sharp wheels, ya know?

Thank you for the pictures, I am liking the look. Did you have any fitment issues? Are they authentic or aftermarket?

Kenndeg

They’re authentic E63s wheels. No fitment issues even when I have the airmatic set to its lowest setting on the Renntech controller.

You did not need to use spacers? despite the off set difference? they look really good tbh

Kenndeg

No spacers.

Have a set off my e63 , I think an e55 as a temp in between will have these on looks 💥

I almost find this unbelievable. Not saying you’re lying. But I found a set of 18’s e63 wheels from a 212 and on willtheyfit.com I showed that a 18x9.5et52 wheel will sit 19mm closer to the shock than my 211 e63 wheels. I was thinking about getting a 12mm space for clearance issues. I’m not with my car right now so I can’t Measure the available space I have but 19mm seems awfully close

UPDATE: I mounted 2010/11 E63 wheels on my E55. The fronts fit fine 18x9 ET37 with a 255/40. The rears 18x9.5 et52 285/35 required a spacer. I went with 12mm H&R and 40mm shank lug bolts. No rubbing at any ride height. The car is filty but here’s some photos (doing a paint correction next)

Yeah mine don't have spacers - Not sure which wheels you looked up but the ones I have are from an E63s, and are 19s.
