Question: Do AMG 18 X 8 Aero II rims clear your C32 Brakes?

Need your help fellow members!...

I am in the process of upgrading my car (lowly C240) with a set of C32 front brakes. The question I have is whether the AMG Aero II rims (18 X 8) that I currently have will have enough clearance for the larger C32 front brakes without an additional spacer. Does anyone have these rims on their C32? Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Also, what is the largest spare that you have in your spare tire compartment? I believe that the 18 X 8 rim with 225.40.18 tires should fit the compartment...Can anyone verify this please?

Thank you very much for all the help, have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

The AMG Monoblock will NOT clear the AMG calipers without adding a spacer. There is not enough back spacing clearance.

I was informed that a spacer will contribute to the front tires rubbing....any suggestions on how to make this setup work? I really want to keep my current rims, if i must switch, any suggestions of rims that look similar to the Aero II's? I know the Carlsson's look rremotely similar...thanks again for all the help!
