Hey guys, I have someone interested in swapping the aftermarket wheels off my W211 E55 for the stock wheels on his W219 CLS55. Not sure if they will fit (particularly the rears) without running spacers though?

My wheel specs are as follows:
Fronts are 20x8.5J ET32+
Rears are 20x10J ET42+
Centre bores are 66.6mm

given the difference in offsets from the standard CLS55 rims, i am wondering if spacers would be required?

Any assistance gratefully accepted.

TIA

cls takes really crazy offsets these will fit but will look sunk in..

thanks for that. was not sure if they would rub on the inside due to the offset difference and that spacers might be required? spacers are not legal to run here in AUS unless fitted as standard equipment from factory.

i personally would not run spacers but if you do you should probably get longer longer lug bolts, nothing worse than losing a wheel at 150+

never went anywhere with this in the end. have since swapped with a different set of wheels off an E500.

Larger then a 12mm spacers is my limit but to say don't use or something in that sense is dumb.. spacers at times is truly dial in the offset for more aggressive fitments or clearance and I had to use some cause my setup was so extreme it wouldn't fit correct and hit everything.To get perfect offsets to someones liking is impossible cause I ran a 11.5 with a 305 and to my eyes needed little more +.Flush to many is not a true flush .
