    is it ball or cone that these rims need for the lug bolts?

    Just out of curiosity what is the measurements and ET of the rims? The W210 E55 wheels are 8x18 with ET31 and 9x18 with ET35. I'm almost thinking you have rims from a S-Class as a spacer that thick would never come close to working with the E55 Mono II's I have.

    Was hoping someone here could just eye ball them and tell me the exact specs of these rims I didn't see the stamp anywhere on the rims with the specs but maybe there just too dirty from the inside. Anyways very frusterating hopefully gets resolved soon

    Well that actually explains a lot. So are the rims staggered or are all four the same dimensions? The next item is if you are going to try and use the 245/275 setup assuming they can even fit inside the wheel wells. At this point I would say you need spacers all the way around.

    Not really sure what staggered means but the rims on the back look wider than the ones in the front of that answers your question. I wish I knew what the size of these rims though

    So staggered means the front and rear rims are different widths. The size of the rims is stamped on the backside just where you found the part number and offset and will look like this



    In the above case the rim 9 x 18 with an offset or ET35.

    came from 140 s class and not e55... maybe needing at least 15mm spacers and your bolts look 50mm shank... you may need 60 or 65mm shank..

    I'm here in chatworth picking these up I hope it's not a waste a money even though I know the bore is different. Not sure if I could make this work but don't really see many options. All I know is that one thong is for sure and it's that these lug boltsvare longer than the ones I have nd there the ball lug bolts that the rims take that alone is worth a lot I'm basically going to get everything for the price of the bolts not to mention that they are very hard to find, and if I do find them they will be pricey. This guy should be here in a couple minutes I'm sitting in my car thinking about what to do. Any remarks?

    Wow I have never seen a wheel with no dimensions cast into it...I guess there is always a first time. Right now I assume all for rims have the same part number and therefore are the same size and offset. According to the part number you have a 8.5X18 rim with an offset or ET of 47. This is what I got out of a an online offset calculator. Based on how tight my car runs with 255/35 tires in the rear if you were to go with the 255/35 rear you would need something like an 18mm spacer. For the front using a 225/40 tire you would need something like a 9mm spacer.

    this was the guys benz that sold me the adapters and spacers he has a bunch of cool cars he also has a really nice cosworth 190.
    he said i was gambling by buying the adapters but all i really cared about was the long lug bolts. still came out pretty expensive though not to mention i had to drive an hour there and an hour back

    Hope it all works out. Those look like 19's on the sellers C36. The creeping costs remind me of my C36 body kit....having known how much it would cost in the end would have prevented me from starting the project but once you start the project you are committed to seeing it through.

    Congrats on getting it all fitted. any rubbing or clearance issues? I assume you are still running the 275/245 combo.

    i have 245 35 20 on the back no rub. im on eibachs aswell stock pads. you see all the spots on the inside of your wheel well that are rubbing? Hit those with a hammer. The grey plastic moulding near the rear wheel must also be shaved and rolled. As for the front youll have to remove the fender liner and roll the fronts and remove the little vent shaped piece that comes off the front bumper. Zero rub on 10xdub.
