I am looking at a set of authentic AMG wheels that are 18x8/18x9 staggered with a 30mm offset

I am currently running 18x8 Moven replicas of this same wheel but i believe they have a 35mm offset, i just wanted to know if the 30mm offset will clear the stock calipers on my 95 320 coupe and what others issues i should be aware of, if there is a 5mm difference in the offset combined with that extra half inch will i get rubbing in the rear well ?

Is there a way to verify the offset current wheels?

Thanks in advance

Based on your widths and offsets the AMG front will give 5MM more clearance and stick out 5mm more. The 18x9 rear will give 8mm less clearance and stick out an additional 18mm.

Easiest way to verify the offset is to look at the back of the wheel.
The size and offset is usually cast into the wheel.

If not just measure from the inner rear mounting flange to the lip of the wheel. This measurement should be subtracted from one half of the wheel width. This should give you the offset.
The offset is the amount/distance that the mounting flange is "off set" or spaced from the center line of the wheel width.

Thanks, i asked the ebay seller who has a 99.9 score and has been up for quite a few years and he said they will fit my car just fine so i might just buy them this weekend

They are the authentic AMG versions of what i have now but they are staggered and come with tires mounted, center caps and lugs for 1,500 with free shipping . . . seems like a decent deal

I'd check craiglist first before you drop the bomb.
Seems quite expensive IMO.

Ebay selling score won't always account for seller error and unless he's ACTUALLY put them on a W124 he won't know for sure...just an FYI...

You need to look for e55 w210 amg monoblock wheels, those are 18x8 31mm offset front and 18x9 35mm offset rear. I'm doing 18x9 with 255/35/18 and 18x8 225/40/18 but with a 38mm offset for less camber wear on the rear. You will need fender rolling with those offsets all around. 30mm moves the wheel out more so caliper clearance is not an issue unless you are going with higher offsets than 38mm.

You can look at the back of the wheel and it will tell you all the info you need. Look for ET 35...

The 18x8s i have now fit perfectly with no rubbing but the rear wheels recessed about an inch too far into the wheel well for my taste which is why i wanted staggered wheels and my car is lowered a bit, i only get a small bit of rubbing in the front once in a while when i hit a dip going fast

2 of my rims have hairline cracks causing them to have a slow leak which means i have to refill them daily and that is why i am getting new wheels

If i do not get those AMGs i was looking at these replicas that are 35mm offset all around and staggered but a different style, these also come with tires mounted and the guy at the store said i could get them chromed with lug nuts and center caps with free shipping for under 1,100, i have seen the actual AMG versions of these wheel on a 95 E320 coupe and they looked sick

Depending on the tire brand it shouldn't rub on 225/40/18 unless you bottom out the strut.

I've had those AMGs 18x8.5 in chrome but those wheels come off the s-class or the sl with different offsets.

I've had the 18 x 8 OE Wheels LLC replicas with 22540ZR18 tires all around on my car for about two years...nice wheels, look like the real thing with the exception of no AMG logo embossed into the wheel.

Also had their Z06 Replicas on my 06 C6...made in China but good quality and finish.

Real ones are almost impossible to find

Here's a set but with the wrong offsets...
