C32 Wheel Offset
Hey guys,
I am looking at purchasing replica MB wheels that are 18x8.5 (all 4) with a 35mm offset. Will the fronts work without a 5mm spacer? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The offsets for the oem 18" style IV AMG alloys are FR 37 REAR 34. Most replica wheels will not clear the front calipers due to there large diameters.
Be careful what you buy.

totally depends on the style of the wheel you want to get. replicas or not has nothing to do with it. i.e. my LM-6 replicas didn't need spacers with the 35 offset and the real LM-6 does need spacers.
you won't have any problem with hub centric spacers. Lorinser and Brabus both sell spacers to go with their rims that requires spacers for the C-class.

Thanks for the replies, I think I am going to pull the trigger on the rims....I have no problem running spacers, as I did on my M3 with the Big Brake Kit.
Frank what are the dimensions of your rims?
