Help Needed PLEASE

[jim8280]

Hi Guys
I Posted on here just before Christmas i bought some new wheels for my E430 W210 They had a ET35 offset and wouldnt fit the front because of the big 4pot calipers
Have had them collected and refunded the money but now im struggling to find a set of wheels that are going to fit
Has anybody else got an E430 V8 and had aftermarket wheels on?

Hope someone can shed some light on this before going down the route of changing the front calipers i have emailed numorous dealers and got back replies of sorry we dont have wheels to fit your car

Thanks guys

Jim

What sort of design are you looking for?

 

[jim8280]

Anything really not too silly i do like something with a bit of a dish just something thats not the horrible standard 16"

I would be looking at OEM 18" wheels with an offset of 30/39 from eBay. At least you know they'll fit over the calipers.

The dish is your problem, you need a wheel with a small dish or none at all.

You can have a wider rear with a deeper dish and a different offset, just not on the front.

18" monoblocks from the e55 should fit, but I used a set of 18" cls alloys when I had your problem.

 

[jim8280]

Yeah i like the monoblocks 18" theres a few sets on ebay some have different offsets just saw one set that have an offset of ET47 and are 8.5 wide and not staggered and have AMG stamp on them so many different measurments

You need a genuine set from the e55, 8" front et31, 9" rear et35.

Wouldn't E55 wheels work?

 

[AMGeed]

These look a decent wheel. Staggered and a ET35.

Edit.........don't fit an E55 apparently.

Those should clear your brakes no problem.

Depending on how low you car is and what tires you use, you may need to roll the arch lips slightly.

 

[jim8280]

Not lowered yet standard height at the moment they look like the ones to have as there the same as E55
Best not tell the wife how much i'll say there an ebay bargain

What size tyres do i need 225 on front and 255 on rear??

 

[AMGeed]

245x40x18 front and 265x35x18 rear.

I'd go for a 225 front and 255 rear, the E430 doesn't have the modified wheel arch'es that an E55 has.

 

[jim8280]

Thanks for that Carat i nearly ordered the other sizes im hoping to pick them monoblocks up tomorrow afternoon
