gotta tell us the offset. that is key, especially on our AMG's, the front caliper is so large.
Even if the offset is 32 or 35, it also depends on how the face of the rim is designed....some rims have the spokes go inward toward the outer edge of the rim, which , in some cases will hit the caliper. Stay with rim designs which are more "flat-faced" with an offset of 32-35 and you will be in good shape =)
hope this helps !

Ok found out they are 32 offset and here is a link to the picture. I know it is the front caliper I have to watch.
On this note, offset, what does that mean? I picture the larger the number, the farther out the wheel sits from the hub. So a 35 will be sticking out more than a 32 right?
