Wheels for W220 S500

Does anyone know whether 18" by 9" ET 35 rims with 5x112 bolt pattern will fit on the W220 S500 or not? Thank you!

Talking OK

18x9, easy fit. BTW, do you have the stock ones or you are buying the 18", which brand? If you are buying a new set, go for 19". You can tell the difference right away.

Smile Thanx

Thanx CANAUTO! I've asked couple of tunning shops, they are all pretty sure that the rears will fit, but are not sure whether the front will fit or not. And some told me that the offset should be higher. So the offset is ok as well? Thanx again. 19" ones would be so much better, but the thing is the new rims are a gift from a friend...

depends on the weather
9" would be a tough fit in the front and the offset should be higher get an 8.5" 44mm offset wheel for the front

Question How about...

How about sell the x9 for front and trade or buy 8.5 instead? I believe if they are NEW, most of the wheel shops are willing to do it. Good luck.

For a S-class, the offsets should be ET44-46. ET35 is too low.

You should get 8.5/9.5 instead. Btw, what wheels are you considering???

The wheels my friends are giving me are Carlsson's. However, I have my eyes set on a kit from WALD; therefore, I might end up buying WALD wheels. Do you guys think WALD's wheel design is awfully similar to Lorinser's? Any suggestion?

Try the new light-weight forged Wald D21 (20"). Lorinser just raised the price.
