2008 E350 4Matic Wheel size question for Luke
Hey Luke, I've been looking at a number of different wheels, many of which are 9.5 wide both in the front and in the back. my question is, do you know if it is okay to run a 9.5 wheel in the front? These wheels would either be 18x9.5 or 20x9.5. What do you think? I have 19x9.5 on the back of my car now which I understand is not a problem, and I know it is better to have the same width wheel at all four corners, so I don't suspect I will have a probelm but I figured it was better to check with you first before I pull the trigger on any type of expensive name brand wheel. Thanks so much Luke!

depends on the weather
9.5" wheel is a bad idea on the front end of an E350 and will cause many issues including rubbing, bump steer, tramlining, etc. the car is just not designed t accept that much width in the front
