keep

the 18's you would not like the ride quality of the 19's even if they did fit.You would need to modify the suspension and if you did not modify it your tires would wear out in very short order and 19's are not cheap.

4 matic
The SL 600 had an 18 inch version that looks similar to the SLR wheel but they are prolly to wide to fit on the front

Yeah...I'm ordering a front camber bolt and rear camber arm kit ($300), new Bilstein HD shocks ($500), Lorinser 4Matic sports suspension ($$$). Not to mention the lower ball joints getting replaced this coming week. Do it right or don't do it at all, unless you like buying $1000 set of tires every 10K miles. That got real old, real quick.

And

i think the offset on the slr wheels was way out like a 45et and that with the
rear width being something like a 11.5 wide rim rules it out.
