AMG Wheel swap ?
Howdy all!
I have a fellow MBZ owner friend willing to give me an older set of 18” AMG wheels from one of his past SL’s, however after reading through the ‘Will It Fit’ sticky I’m not sure if they will in fact fit. I hate to pass up on such an offer though, as ‘free’ ones rarely come around. Can you help without the ET data, perhaps since they appear to be a common AMG model (see above pic)? His tire sizes are 245/40R18 and 275/35R18, whereas mine are currently 225/45/17 and 245/40/17. I found most on sticky post had 235’s and 265’s...any info appreciated!
I will attempt to secure the ET of his spares if I can get them in front of me soon...

I am looking for a set of these wheels -
At least the rears -
They will fit - the rear size is 18x9.5 - ET 33 -
The front size is 18x8.5 - ET 38 (?) -
The ET's are very close to the W209 CLK500
OEM stock -
I am guessing that you will need a different
size wheel nut -
These wheels are rare but even so nobody
wants them -
Please keep this thread updated -
Thank-You
D.B.

Thanks D.B.! To be clear, you know these wheels in my pic above will fit our W209’s? Also, do you mean fit with or without spacers? My friend is local so it won’t cost me per se to put them on and see how it goes...but I’d rather be best prepared should it be known that a specific spacer size is typically required, etc...
Regardless, thanks much for the feedback and I will advise as any action taken...

Anyone else have magical powers and willing to look at the pic above and share likely ET’s along with fitment likelihood on my CLK500 cabrio? I’m thinking about ordering a set of 10mm rear spacers and giving them a shot, possibly getting 265’s on the rear in place of the 275’s...

Hi Insame...I have searched a bit, though mostly within this forum as I do not feel I know sufficient details regarding the wheels in questions to find the answer out there on the interwebs. 
I’m relying on you kind and knowledgeable folks to perhaps help me hone my own search and/or share some past experience-based info...throw me a bone?

So if this was me I would guess that the car in the picture is an R129. I googled that and the cars in the pictures looked the same, so I then googled R129 wheel offset and found this? http://www.benzworld.org/forums/r129...sizes-ets.html
Then I would google the offset of my car if I didn't already know and compare the 2.

If you do get these wheels (for free - WOW) -
and you decide not to use them I would
be interested in purchasing the rears if
the price / shipping is right -
Thank-You
