OK the wheels don't stick out as far as i thought, was probably just the angle. Getting your wheel offset is best way to know which size spacer you need. Do you not know the wheel info when you bought them? Or did they come on the car.

I went and looked at some today they were 18 mercedes staggered rear nice except they rubbed the rear wheel arch slightly due to the width, they wanted 400 no tires and mine in part exchange I get to keep my tires which only 2 were good.

Ok so if a measure the alloy accross the width as long as front is less than 235 and rear 255 and the alloys are oem mercedes and not bigger than 18 I should be good with no spacers you think. I'm stuck with these alloys the only option I was given for the front was to grind the calipers the spacers are already 8mm so I'm stuffed.
Last question are all oem merc wheels made in Germany or are some Made in china is there any way to tell they are original and the year of them ?

This is a set I found would they fit do you think
I have a set (4) genuine Mercedes Benz S550 stock wheels with tires included for sale.
Wheels 18 x 8.5 cast aluminum....... Tires 255/45R18 99H M+S Continental ContiTouringContact
The wheels and tires came off my 2007 S550. The wheels are in very good
condition as this is my weekend car. I bought AMG package with wheels
so I do not need these anymore.
The picture shows wheel only but I am including four tires as well. I also have centercaps.
Tires have 80% thread life remaining. Email or call if interested.

Just go with 10mm. The wheels will say made in Germany on the inside. You have to know the offset to know if they will fit. Also i would ask the seller for real pics. There's a lot of scammers out there

measure the shaft length of your bolts, (the thread part) and then add 9mm so say if its 40mm just add 9mm to get 49mm shaft length bolts. if you cant find a bolt that lenght just give or take a mm to get a bolt closest to what you need.

since your not on OEM wheels you need to measure the lug bolts that are on the car right now that are holding the wheels on. just get a measuring tape and measure the shaft of bolts then add your spacer length. If youre seeing if you can use the OEM one just measure both lug bolts. The standard OEM lug bolt is 39.9mm. all this information is easily searchable by using the search function. situation like yours has been covered numberous times.

Ok thxs the front has 45mm accounting for the current 5mm spacers so I'm guessing I should purchase 49mm-50mm with the new 9mm spacers they have the dish )- style thanks again . Now my other issue is if I leave the doors locked and return a few hrs later I cannot open them with the key fob if I just leave the car for a few min I can open and close the doors no problem weird ?

his problem is that his wheels doesnt clear the brake calipers, hence the spacers.
you'll want 50mm spacers since it looks like the 45mm was used to account for the 5mm spacers so if you didnt have the spacer the OEM 39.9mm shaft would work but just add the 9mm to it or 10mm to get a 50mm lug bolt... I actually might have some if you want to buy them. Made of top quality zinc. They just have some paint on them that you can just steel wool off.
