Quick offset question
Can somebody tell me which style AMG wheels are on the clk in the attached pictures. I'm a bmw guy, so i don't know too much about MB's, so my girlfriend really got one of her rims f'd up and I'm trying to figure out some more information so I can replace it. They're 17's and obviously a different offset in the front than in the rear. I just need the style and offsets (F & R).
Is it +37Front and +30Rear?
Also, if I replaced all 4 wheels, how would a 17x8 (or 17x7.5) wheel look with the same fitment at all 4 wheels on a 35mm offset?
Thanks in advance!

Depends on your model of car. I believe on a CLK 55 AMG for 2001 to 2002 the offset on the front is 37 and on the rear it is 34 for the 17 inch AMG Monoblock rim. The picture you attached is not the 55 AMG model. On the other hand, the rims look like the 17 inch AMG Monoblock rims.

Well, I'm pretty sure the car didn't come with these wheels but they are real AMG wheels. It's a CLK320, so for a 17" non-staggered set-up, what kind of offset should i look at if i decided for a new set of wheels... keeping the tires. Would a +37mm or +35mm offset be fine for all 4 corners with 8" wide wheels?
