New 18'' AMG wheels purchased! Will these fit?? Help!!

ryad32 · 04-22-2012, 10:48 PM

Hi guys,

I drive a 2002 C32 AMG. Last week I posted a wheel fitment question and found out from some of you that the 18X9.5 (all around) wheels I was after we're not going to fit so I didnt buy them.

I came across another set of great AMG rims that we're an amazing deal. Got them today for dirt cheap.

Here are the specs:
Front 18x8.5 offset 46
Rear 18x9.5 offset 44

Im not sure what car these came off of but the seller said a 1999 E class

Will these fit on my c32? If not what can I do to make them fit and not rub? Spacers? What size?

Cant wait to get these on my car, need some help guys. Thanks!

They will need spacers front and back to prevent rubbing.

look at the specs of a tire and wheel package and use it as your baeline info, you're better off getting wheel and tire specific to your car. it'll save you a ton of hassle and $$$ as well in the long run. just my 2 cents

They can fit. You'll need spacers I'm guessing a 15mm in the front and a 10-12 mm in the rear. Don't forget that you'll also need longer lug bolts. I'd recommend H&R spacers over Eibach spacers for the front. ( Eibach spacers come with lug nuts but will be way to long)

I'd run a 20 mm front spacer, and a 15 mm rear
