Default DPE Wheels

Could someone tell me by the specs bellow if these wheels will fit my 05 Limited, there not cheap but I like the looks and the guy has them on a SLK 350

Any help would be apreciated.

Thank you,

Angelo



The wheels are 19" Direct Performance Engineering, Variant R07, Titanium Asphalt finish with Michelin PS2 tires. Wheels have about 4000 kms on them and look like new. RIMS manufactured in California

The rim / tire sizes are 19 x 8.0 with 235 tires on the fronts, the backs are
19 x 10 with 265 tires. According to the manufacturer the wheels will go on the R171 SLK 350 , 280 they will also fit on the W210, 211 E-class or W204 C-class. I'm not sure about other car manufacturers. The wheel offsets are 28 for the front and 35 for the rears.

Mmmm, you might be cutting it close with the rear wheels being that wide; you might run into some clearance issues with brake components, but the fronts should work. If you do put them on, the offset difference versus stock will make the front wheels stick out almost .5" further than the rear wheels, so you'd need 12 or 15mm spacers to negate the difference. On the bright side, the spacers would take care of any brake clearance issues you might have with the rear wheels.

Here is a wheel/tire fitment tool online that you can use to compare stock vs aftermarket sizes. Wheel / tire size calculator / comparer - RIMSnTIRES.com

I'd recommend going with something wider than a 265 on 10" wide wheels, though. I'd say something more along the lines of 285 would be appropriate.

Also, if you do go with the wheels and put spacers on the rears, make sure to get bolts that are the correct length. Bolts projecting more than .65" past the back of the mounting surface (whether that be the wheel or a spacer) will cause damage to brake components.

They may fit. Call DPE and ask them if the offset will work. I had these same style wheels on my SRT6 and sent DPE all the measurements for the Crossfire. If I am not mistaken, the rear was a 22ET but I could be wrong as this was years ago.

Check out my Gallery to see what these look like on a crossfire.

BLKFIN, you are correct.... 22ET in back and 35ET in front... you can use 35ET in back and get your wheels closer to the fenders... I put 12mm spacers in back with factory SRT wheels for now.... 10mm in front... it also depends on how much tire you have sticking out past the wheel....
