Wheel Tire Fitment Question

I tried searching already and I couldn't find an answer.
I'm wondering if 18" staggered oem AMG rims (18 x 8.5 and 18" x 9.5) from an SL500 will fit a 430?
The Front Offset is 30 and the rear is 33
The Tires are 245/40/18 front, and 275/35/18 for the rear.

If anyone is currently running a similar setup any comments / info or pics would be greatly appreciated!

You really didn't. What size tires do you have now? What does your owner's manual say? Same goes for the wheels. Its just a matter of simple math or wheel/tire calculator links found all over MBWorld; besides all the member info postings.

99CLK320,
Offset on w208 rims is 35mm. I looked for two months before I ordered my current rims which are 17"X8"X32mm offset with oem tire diameter. The fronts fit the wheel well perfectly so that is why I dont think the SL rims with the 30mm offset will work on the front. My bet is that they will stick out beyond the fender but I could be wrong. The rears should fit ok with the tire sizes you listed(I think)?

They will fit fine, the tires might rub, so you might have to buy smaller tires for the rims, Im running 18x8 et28 in the front, and 18x9 et 30 in the rear, 225 is optimal for the front, and 245 to 265 maybe for the rear.
