18" wheels from SL fit on E
Can someone tell me if I can put 18" wheels from a 2005 SL600 (the AMG sport wheels) on a 2003 E500?
Also, what is the widest tire I can put on the 2005 SL600 with 19" rims?
Regards.

The best sizing I would recommend is 255/35/19 and 285/30/19.

Hey, you asked about WHEELS, not tires. No, if you were to put those wheels on a E500, get a different set of tire: 245/40/18 and 275/35/18.

If he is talking about the "AMG Sport Wheels", I am assuming he is referring to the Style III. That wheel CAN be shared between W211 and R230. Those are NOT incorrect application wheels.
And if you check on TR's website, they recommend 245/275 combo as well. I dont think TR would recommend their customers to put on a set of tires that might have rubbing problems.

Oh, that is not an AMG wheel. That is called Alphard. The rear has an offset of ET40. I dont suggest you to put those wheels on a E.

Just curious, do you have a W211 or have you tried this? I have a WHOLE STACK of AMG wheels here from the R230, and the car to test them on, and I think I know pretty well which ones rub and which do not, and why they do and don't rub.
BTW, TireRack does make mistakes occasionally on their web site.

no we don't ( atleast we try not to .... show me 1 error on our website) ... as a matter of fact our website is rather conservative when it comes to various fitment issues

There was the issue where the 1999 C43 and 2001 CLK55 wheel fitments were different because of "brake caliper clearance issues" but we know they both have the same brakes...
And how the 2003 W211 E55 didn't even show up on the site for a while (so we used 2004 instead).
But you're right, they aren't often.
