Benz E430 sport wheels

Does anyone know if the 1998-2001 Benz e430 sport wheels will fit on a 4th gen? i believe these wheels are 17 X 7.5. I'm more concerned about the bolt pattern since many maximas have 17 X 7.5 wheels. I think the offset of these wheels is 35, but i'm not sure.

here's a pic if you're wondering what they look like:

thanks for the help!

Mercedes has their own bolt pattern. They will not fit unless custom drilled to fit the Max.

thanks for the info. i'm not sure how these wheels would look on a max, but they look nice on the 430.

thanks again.

Those rims look similar to one set from the I30/I35...

yeah very similar to the 2002 i35, but nicer

i plan to call several dealerships and find out how much they cost. since it's MB, i expect the wheels will be a lot. i wouldn't buy em for more than $400 a wheel...of course once I sleep on it i prob. won't pay $400.

Ace Alloy makes a wheel design almost exactly like the Benz rims

Nice wheel

A classic five-spoke. But I like the wheels on my I30t a little more (I like the spacing between spokes and the size of the spokes themselves).

This isn't about the wheels, but am I the only one who really finds the Mercedes E-class fairly unattractive? I hate those retro headlights. I like the looks of the S and C, but the E (and, by extension, the CLK) look all wrong to me.

Re: Nice wheel

Axis Mach V's kinda looked like that. But I don't think they make them anymore.

I was wondering if the new Daewoo 15" would fit on a 99 SE?
