I am looking at buying a 1995 E220 Coupe that needs work. The C124 chassis was something I have always wanted to acquire and convert to AMG style.
Having said that, I will be on a budget and so I will be looking at aftermarket parts only, genuine parts are out of the question.
On that note, there is a vendor out in the far east that sells aftermarket AMG look wheels. Having considered many options and doing my due diligence on what is suitable for the car, I have concluded that to stick to as close to factory recommended spec wheels as possible. This vendor has these wheels in 17x8J ET25 only (squared setup). I am hesitant to go with ET25, I wanted ET30 to be safe and play with spacers later on.
What are your thoughts? Would ET25 work? The car is a regular fendered car. Also, would you consider a staggered 8" and 9.5" setup on that offset?
I will need all the advise and experience sharing I can get from everyone here. Would really appreciate it.
Thanks all in advance. I attach picture of the car, and the ebay link to the wheel in question.
