Wheel Bolt size?
What wheel bolt size does the W210 E55 have? I know that the W211 E-Class went to a 14mm bolt to hold the wheels on. The W210 E-Class has 12mm bolts, but what about the W210 AMG E55? Did it have 14mm bolt holes in the AMG wheels?



I just installed 18" AMG wheels on my E-Class and the bolt holes are larger than on my original wheels.

All W210 including the E55 have 12mm bolts. I your wheels appear to have 14mm holes then those AMG Monoblocks are for the W140 S-Class.

The 18" W210 AMG Monoblock only comes in:

18X8.0 et31
18X9.0 et35 rear

If they are 18X8.5 et47 they are for the S-Class.

Thanks KEV. They are the W210 E55 wheels in 18X8.0 et31
18X9.0 et35 rear with the 210 part number molded on the inside. The bolt holes just seem larger than my original wheels. I was just concerned about the ball seats being correct. If they only came in 12mm then that would be the same right?

I went with 225/40 in front and 255/35 in back. I know that the standard is 245/40 and 275/35 but I wanted to avoid any rubbing and avoid too much speedometer error. I heard that 235/40 and 265/35 is a good combo too.

245/40/18 would need rolling the fender lip. The 235/40/18 would have the best choice up front. Good Luck.

I looked at them. The 225/40/18 was about the same height as my 225/50/16s that I had on it before. The 225/40/18 was the same height as the 255/35/18 too. Not that it matters but I liked it to be consistant. If I went with the 235s in front I would have done the 265s in back. When it comes time to replace them, I might do that but no hurry. Thank You for your input.
