Wheel fitment help - aggressive offsets

Ive tried searching around, but haven't really found what i'm looking for.

I'm looking to purchase some new wheels for my '08 CL63 AMG.

Most specs ive found on CL series are running 20-22"x9.0 +32 20-22"x10.5 +42 which seems like a pretty conservative setup.

I'm looking to run something a little more aggressive on my car as far was the wheel fitment is concerned. I'm looking for a perfectly flush fitment, nothing crazy like wheel poke/camber etc... just something that sits flush. Something along these lines:




I believe this car is running 22x9.5 and 22x11.5 -- Just unsure of the offets. Looks like a minor tire stretch with a 295 in the rear on an 11.5" wheel.
Just curious to see if there are any other CL owners out there that like this look and could share some right size/offset specs.

Then you need a lower ET off set number, off sets are measured in mm, so a wheel with an off set of 20 would sit 10 mm further out than a 30

Yes I know this, I was mainly just curious if anyone has run a more aggressive offset and could share their specs.

Hahaha, I use to have a G too and was always on G-driver as well! I'm working on aggressive fitment with my ls460, but like you said, there is very minimal information for the w216's. My CL is COMPLETELY bone stock and I have yet to figure out what I want to do with it...keep us updated on what you find out and decide to do though!
