Talking Just bout some AMG alloys. Need advice.

Hello everybody.

Today I got an offer I could not refuse, but now I don't know if the wheels gona fit. I'm unsure if I need spacers. I guess its going to be trail and error..

Its original AMG alloys. 17' Front is 235*45 and back is 255*40 ?? I think, the with im sure of. They came from an SL with the same age as mine. -95.

What do you think? Any advice?

Danny

Elbows?

Elbows.. that's what they call'em when they stick out beyond the fenders!

You will be best going with 18x8 ET35 (Rare in ///AMG mono's) and running a 225/40/18 tire all around.

Been there, done that and learned. You may get away with 235 width in the rear... but I have not tried that yet.

I believe that the widest you can go with the fronts would be 215/45. Also, I was told that the SL has a different offset and that it wont fit our cars.

Thumbs up Yeah, you all right.

I sold the tyres to some indian bloke yesterday.

I am getting new 17' with 225/45 I guess that will fit better.

Thankx

Daniel
