Need some help with C32 offset please
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My friend ordered HRE for his C32 AMG in size 19x8.5 front and 19x10 rear, but he is backing out his order due to some personal reasons. I might wanna get it instead of him. Anybody knows if the wheels will fit? Do I need spacers or fender roll?? Can anyone help me with precise answer??? Because,
I'm so scared of not getting the right offset rims now. Thank you!

It depends on how HRE built the wheel. Most likely the rears will not work because they probably built it with the fattest lip possible. If you have an SLK55, the front 6 piston calipers should clear the same as the 4 piston on the C32. But the C32/55 dont have rear Brembo/AMG brakes. Your SLK55 has a 4 piston rear caliper, which would most likely not clear the wheel built for the C32. If the rear rim has a 3 inch lip, Im pretty sure it wont work w/o spacers. You could always use spacers, but it might stick out too far past the fenders. But you could shave/roll your fenders as well to make them fit. I would try to test fit them first before I purchased.

Yah, its going on to SLK55. I have heard that rolling fender can cause the fender paint to crack?? I'm hoping to fit them in without using spacers? Well, so you are suggesting that the rear wouldnt fit because of the brake clearence issue? I will try to ask them to ship only 1 front and 1 rear for me to try them on and see if they fits. Thanks a lot for your help.
