1995 E320 cabriolet
Wheel Offset for 95 Cabrio
I was wanting to get some better looking wheels for the cabrio, but still wanted the classic 8 hole machined finish to match whats already on my car. My 1995 cabrio has 15 x 6.5, 8 hole machined (polished) wheels with a 44 offset. Mine have a bit of curb damage. I had looked over the sticky on wheel fitment and thought i had it figured out.....WRONGGGGGG
Anyhow i found some beautiful matching 15 x 7 machined take offs and ordered them. They arrived but unfortunately they are an offset 37 so they do not clear the front calipers.
Anyone with suggestions. Are 8 hole machined Mercedes Ronal wheels that hard to find ?
Could i use these wheels with spacers? What are the negative effects of using hubcentric spacers that are 7mm (roughly 1/4") ? Would i need to put them on the back for handling reasons as well?

AMG 124 rims 15 x 7 had both ET25 and ET35 offsets. 16 x 7.5 were with ET31, 37, 42 offset.
I run 18x8 ET35.
All of the above clear the calipers.
