I ran these specs (22-spoke AMG wheels from MB SL55. Wheels measure 18" x 8.5" in front and 18"x9.5 in back, front offset is 30 mm, back offset is 33 mm) into the calculator and it looks like these both extend an extra 20mm+ towards the fender.

Though I'm on stock non-p30 suspension and will be running a 265s @ most in the rear, I'm still not too confident.

For some perspective, these offsets seem to work

Front - 8.5J 38 offset
Rear - 9.5J 40 offset

Your lack of confidence is justified.

What is your stock AMG offset? Look in your OM.

Recommendation is no more than 5mm offset discrepancy from stock. If stock offset is 44m, for example, then 33 mm far exceeds that recommendation.

Use real AMG/TUV wheels only for best safety.

Just bide your time there will be plenty of beauticians selling their stock AMG wheels for the latest slush metal now that it is spring.

No rubbing on hard corners. It really only rubs on going up a driveway on an angle when one side compresses / which is nothing to me
