I'm looking at a set of AMG replicas with the following specs:

Wheel Size: 17x8
Bolt Pattern (PCD) 5-112mm
Wheel Offset +40mm
CB: 66.6mm

Going to put the original 225 tires on the front and the 245 tires on the back. I've seen a picture of these fitting but I wanted to get some additional opinions. Thanks.

i recommend 18s or 19s for our cars, or is this for winter tires?

I agree with you about the 18s or 19s, but it's a 3 year lease and I'm looking to just put the all season tires on these 17s to avoid spending a lot of money. Right now, the original wheels are being used as the winters. These replicas would be my summers.

The 18s or 19s may give you an appearance boost, if you happen to like that. But, from a performance point of view, the 17" size is optimal, so enjoy the driving!

That size is a tad low on offset, but should be ok. Here is what ET44 looks like.

Thanks Sportstick, so a 40 mm offset would sit 4 mm farther out right than the wheel in your picture?

Sportstick

Yes, and it seems that 4mm (which is .15"...fifteen hundreths of an inch!) should be tolerable, both front and rear, compared to my photos, and some would even consider it a bit more "aggressive" looking.

When you get them on take pics and post them in the offset thread.

Thank you so much for all your help and your car looks awesome. If I had your car colour, I would have grabbed those wheels as well.

I've got a set of 17" AMG that came from my 2009 C350, they have the original Conti tires with 25k miles on them and plenty of life. looking for $600 plus shipping from Nor Cal.

Definitely more aggressive. I'm considering H&R spacers to obtain that look.
WOW! Good luck with the sale-that's a great deal.
Everyone keeps telling me I need new rims but I love the way the 17" AMG wheels look on this car.

i'd be very careful with the sizing, since you have a 4matic. having too wide a
differential in rolling distance between front/rear tires can screw things up
mechanically...as well as electronically. proceed with caution.
