Offset question
Will these work for the C32?

the wheels are 18x8.5 and the offset is +40

I am guessing they are not going to work... From the searches I need somthing like 37, but I have no idea how offset works.

Thanks guys

you can go down to about ET30...so it'll clear the brakes.

it depends on the style of the wheel. you'll definitely need spacers, but I'm not sure what size.

That sucks. They are carleson 1/5's in 18x8.5

I have seen them on this forum before, and thought they looked good. I can get the full set of 4 in chipped chrome (needs new dip) for 250. Not a bad price if you ask me, lol.

carlsson 1/5s are ET40. you'll need a 10-12mm spacer from Carlsson, but you can buy them wheels. same one robert has in his sig if it's the BE version.

They are a little different.

I really dont want to mess with spacers, I have had a wheel fall off while driving before, and I never want to mess with stuff like that again... very scary.

Hey rlee,

you have Carlsson and iforged in your sig. - do you have sets of both? If so, I'm definitely jealous, as I drive around on my stock 17s... lol.

I actually have too many wheels. 4 sets that fit, and one set (stock 17's) that don't clear the brakes. Looking to get rid of a few sets...I'll never use them all.

you are probably looking at the older 1/5 with the silver finish and polish lip then. almost all the Carlsson/Brabus/Lorinser wheels use their own spacer kit. there's nothing to worry about.
