99CLK320,
I bought a set of 4 Millenium's in 17"X8"ET32 w/HankookV12s. With an offset of 32 all around there isn't much of a lip but adequate for me. if you go w/8.5" on the front the offset may change but I dont know. with mine the front tire is perfectly fitted to the fender. If you go staggered and you go with 9.5" rear with 32 offset they might be a perfect fit. The wider you go the more critcal the offset becomes. With that said I went with a 17" rim because there are a lot of pot holes where I live and I am sure, and I've heard it said on this forum plenty of times, 19s & 20s get bent up easily on pot holes. Also the cost isn't nearly as much for a 17" as 19". I paid around $1100 from discounttire.com, mounted, balanced, shipped with road hazard warranty. I couldn't find a better deal anywhere. And new bolts and key included. I had to grind down the rear bolts because they were hitting the emergency brake. I love the look of the Mandrus wheel. Not into 5 and 6 spoke wheels. Just my personal preference. My first choice, if you like a stepped lip, is the Fikse Aro; forged racing rim, super light weight at about a grand a rim. Beautiful but too much money for my budget.
