These are discontinued but does anyone have them on their W124? 18X8 ET 37mm with 225 40 18. Are they hubcentric for Mercedes and will they clear with H&R sport springs and Bilstein sport shocks.

Shouldn't be a problem.

I run an 18 x 8 ET35 AMG replicas with 225/40-18 Falken FK452 tires.
Suspension is H&R sports lowering springs with Bilstein HD shocks and Sportline sway bars front and rear.

No interference or rubbing with the ET35 and the ET37 is less then a tenth of an inch difference.

I dunno, I changed tires, same size, different brand and I get slight rubbing now when I had NONE before....tenth of an inch CAN make a difference..

Yeah i know what you mean. I also think it has to do with some tires having extra rubber on the sidewall for lip protection. I went from falken 512s to michelin ps2 and i was able to fit 245/40/18 on the rear with no rubbing except on really hard corners. I'm going to try 255/35/18 next and see if that fits.

I have 18x8 38mm offset so i think with something like 44mm i can fit 255s in the rear? I still have an inch from the tire to the inner fender so i think i can pull it off. I'm also thinking of putting a wider 18x8.5 or 9 with a 235/35 tire but the offset has to be exact.

First i'm going to buy the tire and then figure out the offset i need to make it fit.

i bought those exact wheels, but with +44mm offset, they didn't clear the front calipers, but i think the size you're looking at will be money... mine were hubcentric

thanks for everyone's input. I'll take pics today and post them once they are on and give feedback regarding fitment.

doesnt BERTI have those same exct wheels? the one's with the nice lip?

V9.

Yeah it has a great lip with a slight polish. In fact I like the way they look more than the authentic AMG 18x8 monoblock which has a very minimal lip. I asked berti about his wheels but he hasn't responded.

ZedStyle

berti's wheels are not the asa ones, his are something else, and they have a wicked lip... i THINK his rears are 9.5 wide?? no idea what make though, if he gets back to you, post it up here...
