17" Wheels
My current wheels are 8.5×18 et28 front and 9.5×18 et33 rear. I know that the OEM 17" wheels are 8.5×17 et28 front and et18 rear, but it is hard to find them and they are usually in bad condition. Looking at non-OEM wheels I can barely find 8.5×17 if any and the offset does not even come into question. Has anybody ever made non-OEM 17" wheels work on this model even if I have to add spacers on the rears?

I have been thinking and was wondering as the w219 is the same suspension setup as the w211 and the w211 has wheels with the same offset on all 4 wheels. I have calculated that a 8x17 et35 wheel would sit good on the front, but is this 10 mm offset difference in the rear that crucial for the w219. Has anyone tried running the same et all round?
