Is the wheel lug pattern on the E55 112 X 5? Looking for a 3mm spacer for the fronts and nobody seems to know.
Thanks in advance.

Short of going out to your car and measuring, you can go to a wheel selling site online (tirerack.com? Discounttiredirect.com?) and look up the wheels for your car. They'll list the specs for the wheels most times.

Another way to confirm is check brake rotor spec's as many report the wheel lug spacing. And for our cars it is 112mm (4.4 in).

What's the consensus on wheel spacers? For the SL rims in the front it is advised to use 3mm spacers. Never used them before, 3mm it hardly seems worth it.

I would only use that 3 mm spacer if I needed brake or suspension clearance. 3 mm isn’t noticeable for the flush look.

3 mm is needed for clearance, rubbing.

I put the larger rims on, noticeable size difference, ride is much better which I didn't expect. No spacer needed.

5x112 and bolts of m14x1.5. pretty easy to find online. smaller vehicles have different bolt size. The old C230 has a smaller bolt size. both same 5x112, same as Audi.
