Will Sl55 rims 18x8.5 et30 fronts and 18x9.5 et33 fit ok on a 2004 E500 (W211) car? Also what tire size would you recommend if the rims do fit? One possibility is 255-40-18 fronts and 275-35-18 rear...the stock size for the rear of an SL55 which is 285-35-18 might be too wide...that's why I was thinking about a 275 series. Thanks for any help!

yes the wheels will fit with no issues but, the tires sizes are a little off ... so , you would need to go with a slightly narrower tire

Luke, Thanks for the info...what tire size do you suggest for the fronts and the rears?

Luke@tirerack · 02-15-2006, 07:07 AM

245/40-18
275/35-18

and if your W211 is not an AMG you might have to roll the rear fenders (proable not though)

Another question...what do u think about using 245-40-18 fronts and 265-35-18 rears? Is that too narrow for the rears compared to a 275-35-18 for the 18x9.5" rear wheels? Thanks again....this is a huge help in figuring this all out!

The Lorinser fitment guide shows 245/40R18 front and 265/35R18 rear as the TUV approved fitment with their 8.5x18 ET31 & 9.5x18 ET31 staggered set up.
