C32 AMG OFFSET & SPACER question
Hello,
I'm a proud new owner of a C32 03 amg and looking to start with some few outer mods and had some questions that i'm hoping someone can help.
looking to replace my current 17" amg rims with 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 rims, my issue is that i got too excited and purchased some AMG rims from someone for $200 but one of the rims was cracked so i knew i had to get a new one. what i found out after is that the 18x8.5" is ET 42 and 18x9.5 is ET44, well i know my OEM wheels at ET32 in front and ET35 in rear, so here is my questions:
1. will these rims fit in my car? and if so what kind and size of spacers recommended to use with these rims?
2. I also want the wheel to stick out a few millemeters more to give it that sexy look going around on some cars on here, will i need to use even bigger spacers for those?
3. any possible dangers going with offsets this high? Or are they ok as long as i purchase correct size spacers?
It sucks because most nice looking rims i want have high offsets =/
Thank you so much in advance for the help!! i attacked a pic of the rims as well, thank you.
