E350 rims

[yu203964]

I just bought a 2007 E350. The rim and tire sizes of it are 8J x 17 H2 (38mm offset) and 245/45 R17 respectively. I am thinking about buying another set of rims for snow tires with smaller rim size (I know it might be too early). The same manual also shows the rim and tire sizes of E320 Bluetec as follows:
8J x 16 H2 (36mm) and 225/55 R16
I just wonder whether the E320 rims and tires would fit the E350. Can someone confirm this? Can I buy any steel rim with 8J x 16 H2 (36mm) on it or must I buy the rim specially for MB?

Anyone's advices are much appreciated.

i think it's very possible for E320 rims to be fitted to your E350, but as with all
things, the devil is in the details. since E320s came with 12mm as well as 14mm
lug bolts, you'll need to be sure (also) that you're not buying old, W210 rims
or you'll face having to buy new lug bolts as well. 2mm may not seem much, but
i'm sure it helps to have the added load bearing capacity....both bolt as well as
heftier designed rims.
