My car came to me with Brabus monoblock S. Last month the RR went low overnight while parked. This was the same wheel that already had 1 repair and I see the leak is due to in inside bead seat crack. Fawk. Took it in and repaired it buuuut.... nah. Me no likey. Could not find a replacement so I put a set of '07 sl55 wheels on it and they are growing on me. I might stop looking for a wheel and leave these be. Here's a pic mid-install. The S wheel in back is the one that brought all this on.
Dear all can i ask please about the widest wheels and tires that can fir e55 without problems
can you mention the wheels offset and tire size front and back
and if possible What other Mercedes wheels can be used for this purpose
I celebrated America's Birthday with a pilgrimage to the house of FAST and Torreto's Cafe!
How's the daily life sitting that low? I know it's not terribly dropped compared to the stock suspension, but just wondering if you have any rubbing or dampening issues. I doubt I'll replace the bags unless I absolutely have to, but curious as to how you like it. Looking noice!

LOL! Oh hell no I don't ride it that low on the daily! I actually dropped the ride when I arrived at the house, I use the lowering module from ProGrama. Appreciate the complement!
Thanks guys! I hate to be a jerk, but I can't give out exact offsets. haha I feel that doing the research and measurements on your own help significantly with the final outcome of your build along with an appreciation of the work itself. I will however tell you that both the front and rear offsets are nearing the negative mark if that helps!
I think he was asking so he could avoid that catastrophe.

255-30-20 et 38
305-25-20 et 42
f: 1.14 drop
r: stock
no issues at all!
The fronts are 255/30/20 and the rears are 285/25/20. No issues at all. I originally purchased a pair of 295/25/20 PSS's, but they looked massive (full 12" wide). As it turns out, they would have probably fit with some possible slight scuffing on the inside, forward plastic. I have started playing with the height since the first pic's which were at stock height.
20” fit all day long on the w211 / nice look.
i have the same size fronts and 305-25-20 in the rear with no issues!
I haven't had car that long probably a year but I have went thru 4 sets of rims not including stock ones. These are all the same car lighting really effects the color it looks. I also got updated bumper and grill. My 1st set of rims 20" My car on 2nd set of rims 18" My car with updated bumper and grill with my 3rd set of rims 20" My car with updated bumper and grill with 4th set of rims 20" ( I hated these was glad I still had 3rd set to put back on)

Get a different grill. That one you have with the star on it doesn't fit that bumper at all. Star grills look terrible to begin with on these cars and you have one that doesn't fit right.
Yes I'm aware of that haven't gotten around to it. This is my first Mercedes and I've had it for around a year so I'm learning. And I obviously prefer the grill with star because I bought that grill and installed it. I purchased when I still had other bumper. But I would never see a pic of your car and be like change your grill. That's what's cool about buying a car you put what the **** YOU want on it.
You know what's cool about posting a pic of your car on the internet? People can comment on it and you may not get the replies you necessarily wanted.
You are definitely right about that. No doubt. Have you ever heard there's a right way and a wrong way to say something. But I'm sure that you can now say it's anybody's right to be a c*ck breath muthafuc*a and say things rude and ill as you want. And that would also be true so I guess we would both be right. Have a good day sir.
Fitment is all good, so ordered tires which should arrive next week.
Dam is that the same brand KMC that used to make kinda cheaper rims back in the days like when saw blades were popular? I doubt it because those look REALLY GOOD I like then alot. Not a plain looking 5 spoke like some nice lines. I can't tell from angles but do rims concave in center? Very nice!
This came out real nice. Super clean car. Congrats!
Thanks.

All good, honestly, I really don't notice any difference.
The only thing I have noticed is slightly more road noise from the Michelin PS4s compared to the Yokohama AE50's - but that is expected as the PS4's are a high performance tyre where as the AE50's are more an everyday tyre.
