Any suggestions for the other brand beside Brabus ? Looking at ss_ss1 car I guess there is no original monoblock V will fit and the monoblock VI r too common. How about 20" monoblock III multipiece, will it fit ???

i saw a pic of an E on 20" monoblock 6 single piece..i dont see why the mono III wont fit..maybe needs a spacer.

You can't (or very very very difficult) to fit 20x9.5 in the front axle.

Unfortunately, the Brabus multipiece monoblock 3's in 20 only comes in 20x9.5

Yeah I can see how bad this front wheel look after adding half more inch.

Carlsson 1/16 Ultra Light!

Bry It will fit if you choose 20 monoblock III. In fact it's a very good choice for your car.

Oh man.. those exhaust look pretty nice.. can you tell me what brand/model/price it is and where I can get it?
More pictures on various angles would be great..

Tezta

Oh you can fit 10.5 in the rear?

20x9.5 in the front will fit but you have to sacrifice turning radius and tolerate rubbing. We tried on Brabus MIV 2-pc 20x9.5 and had problems turning (you can modify the inner fender and front bumper trims to compensate, but will still rub). Oh and this is before lowering the car.

Also noticed that the E500 has more fender well clearance than the E320. If you have a 500, it may very well work with little sacrifice.

Whoops - my bad -- they were Monoblock Vs, 20x9.5.

those pics n specs r taken from www.ts-alurad.de check it out. My e-class will be at evosport tomorrow for pulley installation ,right Brad ?

sf49ers79 : nice brabus wheels on your car bro I wish I can install 19" on my car, I know it was very very very hard to fit 19" on e-class.

Tezta

so you were working on an E500 or E320?

ogkarma

E320

Tezta

my friend at sprewell told me there is generally a lot more room on a car with airmatic, but i am guessing that both 500 and 320 with airmatic are identical underneath?

ogkarma

yep - you got it.

stephens

What offset and tyre size are you fitting??

sf49ers79

Bry is the black E Class is yours or someone else?

BryBenz

Definitely not mine sf49ers79, that pic I attach from www.ts-alurad.de for comparing 20X9 and 20X9.5, My car still bone stock just bought yesterday now at evosport for pulley.

sf49ers79: What is that nice colour on your car ? R those changing like blue at noon at grey at night ?

sf49ers79

My color is plat blue.. sometimes at dark it does looks like grey but it doesn't change color. if it really bright, the color of the car is blue which is real nice. thx anyway... what color is your car? what is pulley for?

OGkarma, you said you tried 20x9.5 in front but had problems, that was an E320 as you said, for a e320/e500 with airmatic, do you think you would run into the problem that you faced with the 320? Anyone else got input?

ogkarma

triggaice - nah, you should be fine, but will definitely modify inner fender and bumper. W211s with airmatic have the same clearance. I would go with 8.5s or 9s to be safe.

I am in the same situation as you right now. Lookin for rims for my E. At first was thinkin Brabus cause you can't go wrong with Brabus, but everyone has the Mono IV"s so I decided to go wit the Mono III's. but I hear they are discotinued...oh well I have been talkin to Harris from hartonmotorwerks... Real nice guy. He showed me the Carlssons and I love em. But at the same time I was lookin at the HRE 542R's. 20's of course. The Carlssons would be 19's cause those rims..boy are they expensive. Well have to wait and see what we can do. Was tinkin about 20x8.5 and 20x9.5 rear. Is it possible to stick 20x9's in the front? cause if i can then im going to do that and 20x10's in the rear. Well my 2 cents from the "lil boy"

triggaice

Carlssons being too expensive? never heard that before in my life, those rims are dirt cheap. Now since you say your looking at HREs and you dont have a problem with the price, you should have a million width options with an HRE setup. I would never put a carlsson wheel on a new e-class, I heard that company is already gone if not about to be gone. I was only asking about a 9.5 in the front with airmatic because I know you can get SINGLE piece monoblock VI's reaaal cheap compared to the multi piece 19inch. But to be honest, 19s look soooo much better on the 211 in my opinion. Lowered to the fullest on some 19inch staggered just looks like its meant to be, 20s make the car look weird. Look at that 211 with 20x9.5's, it looks weird. lol looks like I contridicted my own question!

If anyone has pictures of a 2003 E Class with 20 inch HRE wheels please post them...
