Does anyone out there know of any late E-class W210 that is running 18" BBS RC wheels? I cannot find out for sure if they will properly fit my car (2000 E430 Sport). I have talked to 2 people at Tire Rack, another BBS dealer, and BBS themselves. Everyone has an opinion (yes, no, not sure). I really want to KNOW if they fit before I plop down $2K for wheels. C'mon guys, scratch your heads, dig deep, and help me out. THANKS!

BBS Germany website does not list an 18" fitment for the W210 chassis in the RC wheel.

Check out their link at: http://www.bbs.com/english/index.html

You can make them fit with an fender lip roll. The offset of that wheel is 32mm and it is an 8.5" wide wheel which makes for a very aggressive fitment. The reason I mentioned are why BBS does not list the RC 18" option.
Thanks, Luke

are you the person who sent me an e-mail on this subject?

I have the 2000 BBS wheel fitment guide and it list the 18 inch RC polished for the E-Class W210 as an wheel option. It would be best to roll the fenders for the 8.5 inch width, especially up front.

Yes, Luke I emailed you about the BBS RC wheels for my 2000 E430. I am unfamiliar with rolling fender lips. I was told that I would have to do this when fitting 17" AMG wheels on 235 45 17 tires to my lowered '95 E420. Didn't do it and had all kinds of clearance, even with 4 people and their gear in the car.

I know the RC "sticks out" an additional 5mm over stock, but even with my car lowered still looks like tons of clearance. I may take your advice and buy one wheel/tire and check it out. I assume there is plenty of advice on this site about rolling fender lips? THANKS!
