last wheel question!!
ok so after going back and forth for months now I'm realizing that i keep leaning towards the 19" AMG Multi Spoke rims
the wheels I keep seeing
19"-8 et 45
19"-9 et 54
1) so will these fit without poking out? how close would they be to flush?
2) will this mess with the 4 Matic system?
I keep reading mixed reviews on rims so I'm unsure please help as i know nothing about wheels and fitment with these answers I can just get this over with and buy rims thanks.

No they will not poke at all. And they will be sunk in some from a flush fit. And nope it will not affect the 4matic at all. The only issue is you will not be able to rotate your wheels like you probably do now since this new setup will be a staggered fitment.

hey dudeitsmattx so i went to the dealership they told me the 19" multi spokes would f*** up the 4 matic I just went in to pick up some parts and i asked the price of the rims. are they full of **** or what and said i could void the warrenty if the 4 matic breaks and i dont want to void the warrenty on rims i find it ridiclious that they said that. It confused the **** out of me they said because the offset is to big on the rear but i would be ok if i only got 4 of the 19x8 et45 and again im lost i feel like they just want me to buy the rims from them for 1250 a pop lol

Hmmmm I don't have a 4matic and I'm not very knowledgeable on all their components. But there are a lot of people on this site with them running all different kinds of setups. ET 54 on our cars is a common offset used with a 9.5-10" wide rear. I know it will be sunk in like the factory wheels and you won't have fender rubbing issues. Maybe they will be to sunk in and rub on the inside of the car near the shocks? I don't see how offsets would cause anything to go wrong with your 4matic drive though. Only thing I could see with installing different rims would be rubbing issues.
