I'm looking at buying a set of chrome wheels that came off an 05 CLK AMG they are 18x8, i'm wondering if these are going to fit on my w124 or not?

i got clk 04 17x7.5 rims and they didn't fit, 18x8 dont got a chance unless you modify the chassis, thats what i did. look for for some 17" those will be an easier fit

what modifications did you make?

AMG_Eric

it depends on the offset. what is the offset?

Silvo

i bellive that 17" wil fit
mine is 235/45/R17 Rear
and.... 215/.../..... Front

no modifications, no problems at all

so 40/R18 will do the trick! - maybe -

you have to keep the overall diameter (bigger rims / smaller offset)

have a look at this:

it solely depends on the offset. too big of an offset and it wont fit in the well. too little of an offset and it will interfere with your mechanicals like brakes and brake lines as well as suspension parts.

as long as they are 17x7.5 with an offset between 37mm and 30mm they will fit. the difference that we have on the newer benzes is the lug hole size which on the newer ones is 14mm vs 12mm on the older benzes. so that may mean the wheels will bolt up but there might be some play around the lugs. not sure.

But an offset of 37 mm to 30 mm will work fine with 17x7.5 wheels.. anything else and you will probably have trouble.

for an 8" wide rim, you want an offset I believe between 34 and 28, 28 is really pushing it as far as I know because my wheels are 28mm offset and 8" wide and I had to do some work to get them to fit with 225/45 rubber.

Hmmm..
I think i'm gunna get them and try to make it work,
they are 18x8, whatever the stock CLK offset is, the tires are 225/40/r18 and i'm probably going to have my fenders rolled anyway so i think it will be ok.. i hope haha

AMG_Eric

the offset is stamped on the inside of the wheel. just ask the guy for it.

Barrington1

yeah I asked him but hes a bit slow about responding, anyone know a place on the internet where it would say what the offset of 05 CLK AMG Wheels is? I asked the dealership and all know is that is 18x8 great help they are haha

AMG_Eric

you could call brabus in newport beach. they might know. also you could try sander at tws.

Barrington1

Ok well I think they are 38 offset, knowing that would probably stick out too much would i have to use fender spacers to make them fit?

ashman

the 38 mm offset would make them inset more. spacers could bring them out. you would probably use a 4 or 5 mm spacer, but they would have ot be hubcentric spacers as well.

ashman

check with sander at tws he should know everything about what wheels and what you would need to do. he knows his stuff.

what is tws and what is the number/website?
