W211 E55 Wheel Fitment Question

Will the following wheels fit my 2005 E55?



I believe they came off of a 2014 E400 w/ "AMG Package"

Front: 18x8 offset +45mm Tire 225/40/18
Rear: 18x8.5 offset +48mm Tire 245/35/18

As far as I can tell they should fit... Need some second opinions though as I'm not super knowledgeable about wheel fitment.


These are my current wheels, they are 19s and appear to be M-B AMG wheels... Maybe off of an SL65? Any ideas?
The wheels are fine just don't love the look.

Stock E55 wheels:
18x8 et 30
18x9 et 39

They should fit, but will be even more sunken in than the stock wheels. It looks like you have the AMG Style IV multi-piece wheels, they came on the 65 cars and a few of the 55 cars. Width and offset vary depending on which car they came off of. Most consider them to be one of the best OEM wheels for the 211 chassis, so they're pretty sought after. They've definitely been repainted to all black, and I don't love the look either. If you see them in the factory silver or two-tone titanium/silver color maybe you'll change your mind

Thanks for the reply. The guy who is selling the wheels has a C55 and said they didn't fit/rubbed on the suspension/calipers....
I think the stock C55 wheels have a similar offset to stock E55 wheels. I may have to pass on these wheels...

Yeah not a fan of the painted black rims, I do like the stock titanium/silver color. I may have to repaint them or trade them to someone. haha

You won't get a stock 265 tire on there without leaving the "safe" zone on the tire chart.
