If it was a gift that you somehow accepted thinking that it'd fit your ML, then do an internet search for tire/wheel fitment. You should also research lug nut length because that depends on offset and wheel width. We'll be on your aass buddy and I hope your next question is not how to start the car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHHaa I agree.


How can you buy rims for a car and not know if they fit your car. Then not know what type of tires fit the rims. Thats like buying shoes for your self without knowing the size of the shoe. LOL

on another note Mercedes offset is a rare offset, i think???
112 offset pretty much doesnt fit on any other manufactures... im i right

i almost bought a set of rims that came off a x5 bmw and luckily i didnt
They say ml, x5 are the same...

I did my research and went to many tire places to educate myself then i bought...

One thing i did learn too is you cant stagger all wheel suv, i wanted too staggger on my ml500 but you cant oh well

you learn new thing everytime you mod you toys

We're usually very nice here but when a stupid question like this comes up, the only logical choice is to flame...but we always help. So, now that we've busted your balls, let's see if we can help you.

Since yours are 20s, the rims should have a stamping on the inside (the side that doesn't face the the outside!!!, and usually on the spokes if it's a spoked rim) that will look something like this: 20 x A.B JJ, where x=times(multiplication), A.B is the width of the rim and would be like 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, 10.0, etc,etc, get it?? The JJ is not important in this discussion. The offset may also be stamped following the 20xA.B JJ or may be stamped on a different spot, usually on the inside of the rim. It would look something like ET #, where # is the offset like 30, 35, 40, 45 or whatever. It's an integer (no decimal point) and as far as I know, it's usually larger than 10 for road going vehicles. Yours is probably something like ET 35.

Now you know what to look for.
