Set of 18" AMG wheels originally on a CLS 500. The owner provided the following dimensions: staggered 8 1/2 for front and 9 1/2 for rear. offset 30 to 35 mm. Will that offset work on our cars?

 

they should fit.i thought cls use higher offset.i had a set of those off a s500 and i was told i needed spacers and longer bolts.

 

I have 8" w/32mm offset all around on 17" rims. the fronts fit perfectly flush with the fender and I bet the back could have gone out a little further. I ordered the sam all around so I could rotate the tires. I think 8 1/2 30mm for the front is going to be too much. it will all depend on the rubber. call discountire or the tirerack and ask one of their techs. the backs should fit fine but I am a doubtful about the front. I pulled into a driveway the other day while turning to the left and as I hit the little bump on the way in the right front tire hit the fender. you may have to roll the fenders to get the fronts to fit. If the offsets were exactly the opposite I would say they would definitely fit. oem offset is 34mm. can you mount them before you buy them? Oh, also check to see if the bore is the same. the dealer may have to tell you that.

 

I don't think I will be able to mount them before purchasing. I will say this however, that the price is really good, so that even if they don't fit, there should be no problem getting rid of them, but I don't really feel like going through the added hassle.

Is there anything else I can ask the owner to help narrow down if they'd fit or not??

 

Any other input? So far I got a yay and a nay, I need a tie breaker!!

 

I don't believe that's the correct offset for those wheels. They are 25 front and 28 rear.

 

so we got one nay, one yay, and one maybe not.

Anyone else care to chime in? I can get these wheels and tires for $300 bucks. If not I will have to buy em just to see if they'll fit :=(

 

1) Offset is stamped on the inside of the wheels. Ask for pics.
2) Tire size will be different for your car.
3) You will need different mounting bolts due to the wheel hole size.

 

thanks, assuming the offset is what was initially posted, smaller tires, & new bolts, it should work??

 

call the techs at tirerack.com or discountiredirect.com. the offset is the key and as the other poster mentioned, itis stamped on back of the rim.

 

What is the ideal offset for our cars?
