True, but their web site describes it as an all season tire, not a snow tire. They have a separate section for snow tires. I could argue semantics, but if they advertise it for sale they should be able to get it here. Why would that be any different than Tire Rack shipping a set to me? -D >

17” wheels on the W210 were optional, I believe. 16” wheel are standard, at least that’s what’s on the three W210s around here. -D > On Oct 19, 2020, at 11:54 AM, Jim Cathey via Mercedes > wrote: > > I tried a 15" wheel (from 124) I had laying around, and it does not go on > the E320. Also,

I tried a 15" wheel (from 124) I had laying around, and it does not go on the E320. Also, the wheels that came on the E320 are 17", not 16", I hadn't realized they were so large. I hate them. I found two more 16" wheels, so now I have a set of four that nearly match in style, but that do match

Looks like a E320 is 7.5x16ET41 with 66.6mm center https://www.wheel-size.com/size/mercedes/e-class/2000/ An E250 can be 7x15ET37 with probably the same suspension A W202 can have 7x15ET37 x 66.6. That's where I'd look for cheap wheels. https://www.ebay.com/itm/392579244965 Or just buy the

So our E320 (2000, 4wd) is finally ready to take over for the X5, but I still need to find a set of snow tire wheels for it. I have two differently-styled 16" wheels for it, and there was nothing at the junkyard last time I went. Winter is Coming, as they say. Will 15" wheels (of any sort) fit
