AMG wheels on a 420SEC (W126)
Hi there,
I have recently have had a set of AMGs refurbished without checking that they fir on my SEC.
The specs are:
Front: 225/45/18
Back: 255/40/18
both are 8.5j and have ET47
I think they were off a much later S class and are the monoblock style.
Does anyone know what size spacers I will need to get these wheels on the car?
The car is currently on bricks....
Any input will be very helpful

Hi alabbasi,
Thanks for that info. Do you what will be the minimum size I can get away with?
I'm assuming ET11 being the ideal offset but there must be an upper limit without spacers?
I mean whats the highest offset I can get put on the car on a 18 x 8.5j wheel?
I read on a thread that someones got ET31 on the same car without spacers on the same size wheel. So I take it I might get away with 15mm-20mm spacdrs?
What are your thoughts?
Thanks

I can't answer that because i've not experimented with it. There are a number of wheel experts on the BW W126 forum that could probably answer your question.
I would check in there.
Good luck.

I've just put an order in for 25mm H&R DRA spacers for the front and 30mm for the back.
My next question is....what size bolts do I need?
The length from where the radius seat sits in the wheel to where it comes out on the other side is 20mm, so does that mean I need 45mm bolts for the front and 50mm for the back?

Looks very nice.
Did you use lowering springs? Such as H&R? Or is it stock?
I want to get the similar look on my 560sec and thinking about the same AMG monoblocks, only the ones from e55, 8j front and 9j rear, they have lower offset being 31 front and 35 rear.

c2edb wheels
Hi
I have just joined this forum.....I like your wheels. I have similar 17" full polished wheels on my 500 sec which fitted perfectly without any spacers. I would like to know if your are 18" and if so, can you let me know where you got them as I would like to change mine to 18" also.
Thanks
