i been thinking lately to switch my wheels from my E class to the CLS. i thought it wouldnt fit, however i read a post today at the E-55 forum that they put our CLS wheels on their E. and it fits.

anyone can validate that information, i have no knowledge of offset and other technical info.

thanks

I have put our factory 18" wheel on an e-class and did not have any issue. Now, if you talk about a custom wheel from our CLS to an E Class, then you will have an issue based on the offset of the wheel.

not really custom, just a set of 20" stagger from my E to my CLS.

i am going to try this weekend

They will fit but you will find that the wheels from your e class will not line up with the fender of the cls like it does with the e class. The wheel will seem 'tucked' in the rear. This is where offset plays a role.

thanks for the info. maybe i can order a set of spacer to fill that gap...

That may be an issue with regards to the bolt length. The spacer may shorten the bolt to the point where you won't have enough thread for the wheel.
