Anyone fitted 18" wheels

I'm planning to put 18" wheels on my CLK320, but i have a hard time to decide which one. There are many options out there, but when it gets down to the details, the wheel offsets seems to be somewhat odd on the CLK limiting the real options.

As an example, i really like the AMG monoblocks, but due to the offsets, the front wheel will stick out too much and the rear the opposite and will need spacers too look right.

Any of you have actually fitted 18" wheels yet and have some experiance with the result.

Cheers

Cool

Indeed, my case is 5 mm/15 mm spacers front & rear.
18" rims are a lot of choices among brands.

What wheels

What wheels do you have. Any problems with vibrations from the spacers.

Cheers

Carlsson 1/5 18" 8.5J/9.5J
No vibration, I think Carlsson use spacer to let its rims fit for all Mercedes models.
