2004 E%% AMG Another wheel offset and diff oil questions
Hello boys and girls
I have a 2004 E55 AMG with 67k miles
I read about these topics and I am still clueless
I want to run 255F/285(295)R on a 19 wheel on stock suspension low setting
The wheels I want are Rohana RFX 11 and the front offset is 35mm and rear offset is 30mm and 45mm
Wheel width 8.5F/9.5R
Diff oil ... some say 75w85 , some 75w90 and some 75w140
Thank you

In the differential the dealer part# is 001989-33 03 12 which is 75-85W but I think many here use different weight oils. I am going with a 75-90W synthetic.

are you me? I have a 66k mile 2004 and have just gone thru all these questions.
I think your front is fine and the rear you should go with the 30 offset. I have 19x9.5 + 35 with 275/30 tire and just put a 10mm spacer on and there are a couple mm to spare. theoretically a 19x9.5 + 30 with a 285/30 should be the same fit
for diff fluid I went with the 75w/85. agreed that finding a definitive answer on that question is impossible. there's some ***** on here that claims 75-140 and will call you stupid if you disagree. fcpeuro offers 75-90 & 85-90 for our cars. from what i could gather, in the past our cars were to follow 235.0 fluid spec but has recently been upgraded to 235.7 so basically 75-90, 85-90 & 75-85 will work but 75-85 is the most recent update so I figured that was the best. while we're on the topic, does anyone know the size of that drain plug? I tried to change mine the other day but the old man's tool supply was limited.

I was an 85w90 user before having an LSD installed.
Kiluminati, a 14mm hex will get you sorted.
