AMG Wheels on a E320
 

I have a 98 E320. I was considering putting on 18" AMG wheels with Mich. Piolits. Has anybody done this upgrade on a non AMG E series. I was told by the dealer that the E55 has somewhat different springs and suspension, but the 18" ers will work. It's a great look. Any opinions or suggestions. I would hate to make a purchase only to find that the tires rub or hit the fenders, etc. Thanks

Bruce, I don't know squat about wheels. This is the second picture of your car I've seen and I just had to say that I think that color is beautiful. I've not seen it before, though its kinda like British racing green. It's not a stock color, is it?

bruce- check this thread. http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/off-topic-discussion/75535-peep-latest-pics-my-brabus-carlsson-combo-kit.html

he went 18, but not sure what maker, brabus i think.

check for earlier post by same user (dr amg) for thread titled "help, ive fallen and cant get up" (or sim) for more pics/details of new wheels for his new (to him) 320.

PS- there is a wheels and tires forum here at MS.

Botnst, Thanks, That's one of the many reasons I bought the car. I checked with the Dealers in my area, inquiring about the color. They all stated that they seen very few, one never did, any E320's in that Green. It appears it was offered as a special order. It's a very deep color with great metalic tones.

Thrill, Thanks for the information, Bruce

Correction, I have 19's :D

The wheels are Front: 19x9.5 275/30/19 and Rear: 19x8.5 245/35/19.

My car is lowered about 2+ inches using an H&R cupkit, hence I rubbed and had to roll the fenders.

With 18's you shouldn't experience rubbing whatsoever at stock height.

hey doc, did you really put the bigger tires in front? :rolleyes:

or will you issue another correction? :o

oops lol. Reverse rear and fronts :D

AMG Rolls the Front fenders from the factory on ALL E class W210s
I Installed the 18x8x9 w245/275s Mono blocks E55 Take offs with NO Rub on my 2000 W210
I Also lowered the car with H/R springs with one Bump/notch spring pads

You Should NOT have any problems with the AMG wheels
But I Would recommend rolling the front fenders Just in case!

Tire rack rents the tool and You can do it yourself! Its Easy!

If you are curious as to what you car will look like, go to Tire Rack's website. They have a feature that shows you your car with the selected wheel...
