Do these wheels/tyres fit?? Read this first! Offset/fitment answers within..

Cross season tyres would be better IMHO.. no need to change then.

I know - another post about wheels and stuff. I'm picking up a 2016 E350D estate (W212) with 18 inch wheels - 245/40R18 front and 265/35R18 rear. Thinking about winter tyres - although probably for next season now - if I keep the 18s then it appears 245 section tyres can go on front and rear - so all good there. However if I drop down to 17s, will the 17" 8J or 8.5J wheel fit both front and rear of the E350D? The front offset is the same (48) but the rear offset for the 18" wheel is 54.

Thanks - and sorry if its been addressed before.

Hi Ian

We have exactly that, with the same AMG wheels. In November I purchased a barely-used set of proper M+S+'snowflake' 225/55-17 Dunlop SP Winter Sport 4D tyres on Merc 17" rims for £400 on eBay. These had been used literally once, then the company car was returned so the wheels were surplus. They went straight onto our W212 E-350 no problems, but I did have to spend an extra £60 on genuine Merc wheel bolts, as the newer rims were of a deeper bolt profile. We've been all over in the snow up here in the Highlands since. No clearance or speedo issues either.

Hi folks, I need some advice, I'm a newbie. Does anyone know what are the actual wheel specs for my E350 CDI 201 Sport?
I've read 8.5j 5x112 ET48 and 9.5j 5x112 ET48 but the chart doesn't quite agree, it's a bit confusing

Check the specs from this list of W212 wheels.

Nice one mate, I understand now, depends on the wheel size the ET goes up or down so for 19'' the ET is 48

 

[AMGeed]

^ Not necessarily
Always remember that the higher the number ET above the recommended one the wheel will sit closer to the suspension and caliper. You can get over that by using a hubcentric spacer to move the wheel out. Conversely, if the ET is lower, it moves the wheel out toward the wheel arch. You then have to consider getting longer or shorter wheel bolts if there is much change.
Might be an idea to save these lists of the correct ET for each wheel size for your W212. Provided you stick to OEM wheels made for a W212 you shouldn't go wrong.

Thanks again mate you're very helpful, the ETs I'm looking at is ET45 which is only 3mm further out (mine are ET48) so I think they should be ok

Hi,
Do the wheels from a W205 C63 fit a W204 C63?
Thanks

The W205 front wheels will be 20mm closer to the wheelarch than the W204 wheels.
You could have problems with rubbing.

W205 C63 ET's are Front 25, Rear 57
W204 C63 ET's are Front 45, Rear 54

Thanks AMGeed, that’s a relief as this post was an after thought as I had agreed a price for a brand new boxed set of OEM Mercedes 20 inch wheels off a chap on eBay at a great price so pick them up tomorrow.
Regards Al.

Welcome to the forum. Don't apologise for your English, its fine
They won't fit Valeri
Far too close to the wheel arches and will foul them .
Have a look at the 18" wheels for a W212 and check out the correct ET's.

Thank you so much for the answer!
And what exacly is going to happen if I put them?
Sorry for the stupid question...I just love this rims and I really want to make shure what is the risk if I buy them and try to put them in my car.

 

[AMGeed]

Sorry to say, the tyres will rub against the wheel arches if you buy these rims.

 

[Valeri11]

Ok thank you so much!I will try to find another rims!
Do you know some website in uk to look for a second hand rims?

Get good reviews and my mate bought a set. One arrived damaged and they replaced it no quibbles..

 

[AMGeed]

Still some bargains to be found on eBay for genuine MB alloys. Just check you have the correct fitment before buying. Use the link in Post#355 to check beforehand.
Carriage to Bulgaria may be expensive though.
