I just need to know before driving a long distance to purchase a set......Rich
As noted above, you need to know the offset... AND also the width. The two go together, you cannot just get an offset number. If buying any S-class wheels for a W211, simply ask the seller to take a photo of the back of the wheel where the size/offset is stamped. Or at least have them tell you what the numbers are.

Never, ever, ever accept "...they fit fine on this year/model and my best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend hear from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl that said they'll work great on a W211."
