Monoblock Reps Question
I found a set of monoblock Reps on eBay to replace my current bent TSW Tremblants (18x8.5 et32, 18x9.5 et 34)
The monoblock specs according to the vendor are:
18x8 et29
18x9 et35
Is this the correct specs for a oem monoblock wheel? I saw that there are multiple variations of offsets for these wheels, so it got me curious if these are the correct offset for our w208s.
I'll be wrapping them in 225/40r18 and 255/35r18. I'm thinking they will fit without issues.

Browse through this, it has most of the W208 options. Quick look it shows that not being a OE fit but it's close maybe spacers or the right walled tire or you'll be lucky. Here in the NE, even 18s on this heavy a car is flirting with danger. Out where you are you probably haven't seen a pothole in your entire life.

Yes I know how these measurements work. The main point of my question was if these measurements are oem for this type of wheel. 3mm in the front isn't a big deal and it should work.
I have the current tire size listed on the car already, so tire size won't change. I've seen the sizing sheet before, but didn't see 29/35 listed on the w208 section.
As for potholes, I'd prefer a 17, but 18s were the option at the time, so no going back now since the tires only have a couple hundred miles on them. Potholes are terrible here in Tucson. The city doesn't fix it's roads, allowing the monsoon rains to eat away at the already old roads. Just gotta keep an eye on the road to avoid the damn things
