Rim offset and bolt pattern?
Would these fit our C32s? There are a million posts regarding offset and rim size, but I haven't found any that referenced these before. Specs below:
"SSR GT3 GT-3 Bright Satin - Staggered Set-Up
2 x Front 18 x 8"
2 x Rear 18 x 9"
Bolt Pattern is 5x112
Offset on fronts are 31, backs are 37.5 and this should fit your 2002 C32 but may need an adapter. Double check."

Hmm, so I found a wheel offset calculator and if I'm doing it right, these are the results.
17" Stock AMGs are 7.5" wide, ET 37mm front and 8.5" wide, ET 32mm rear.
18" SSR GT3s are 8" wide, ET 31mm front and 9" wide, ET 37.5mm rear.
According to the calculator, using those numbers above, my fronts would be the same inner clearance and the outer would be extended an extra 12mm. The rear clearance would be 11mm LESS inner and extended 1mm outer.
Is that right?
Calculator used is THIS. I can't find an offset number that makes sense on here as far as proper fitment. Operator error or will these just flat out not work?

I think you might need spacers for the rear, as for the fronts, you will have to roll the fenders. if you make a U turn.... the wheels might rub depends on the tires you have.

my bad didnt notice you were looking at 18s. anyway...why are you? to save 2-4 lbs? are you going road racing and must therefore strive to reduce unsprung weight??? 
go big my friend. 19x8.5 19x9.5 semi solid forged 3 piece SSR GT3 in satin - superb condition. $1000. these rims are way up these in quality. i had the GT1s on my mitsu 3k GT VR4. and of course the SSR competitions are legendary.
to the other guy asking about ET 25 front rims.....you will be pushing it. it the tire is narrow it may work. if you have a wider 235 then it will rub.
the optimal offsets for 235 is 30-33 on a 8 to 8.5. rears can be 265 on 35 et.

Did you roll your fenders or trim the wheel well to get a 265 to fit w/o rubbing? I will email your buddy when I get off work. Thanks again for the heads up.

Is that in reply to me or the other guy asking? I'm fine with getting a spacer so long as they work and fit at all. I will do a search for the wheel thread. Thanks.

Right now i'm running 19x8 with a et of 27 front and 30et rear. I went non-staggered with tire size of 235/35/19. No rubbing in the front.
Best person to PM is Frankw. He knows his offsets.
