AMG AERO et11??
Bought a set of 17x8 AMG AERO 1”s with an e.t. of 11.
What came with an et11? Are these possible off a Hammer? I mounted one on the front of my 300E and it sticks out about 5/8”(15mm)?

See posted pictures above
A picture is worth a ...etc.
The information in the pictures posted above is completely accurate, and all the data is there if you read it.
First of all if you have ever followed the origins of these classic wheels, you would already know they only came in a few sizes.
But even it you had no prior knowledge, again the pictures say what sizes were generally available, and what car they were meant for.
Which means that 17" Aero I wheels are 8" wide, and they made two versions, et11 for 126's, and et28 for 124's.
I think I did see once that someone had a set of 7.5x17et42 Aero I's, but if they do exist, they are probably one of the most rare wheels to find out there.
ET11 is too much offset for a 124, no matter what the wheel width is, and in this case it's 8".
You are better off sell the complete set to a 126 owner, where they will fit perfectly.
If you like the Aero I look, don't discount the 16" version, the most common ones for sale et40 I think, fit a 124 perfectly.
I'm running a set of the 16" Aero I's on our 94 E420, look great and the 16" tires give a nice ride.
Ebay has a couple of sets for sale, here are 2 ea 17" et28's
