Hello,
A memeber has a set of AMG Aereo II's for sale in the classified section with the following specs.

Fronts are 18" x 8" with 31mm offset
Rears are 18" X 9" with 35mm offset

Mercedes PART # 1294010102 8JX18H2<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
Mercedes PART # 2104010202 9JX18H2

He bought them for a 1986 S class ( W126)

From what I can gather in searchign the forums, the bolt pattern, offset and width is correct, but there may be an issue with the type of bolts or possibly hub bore as I have seen a few posts that indicate S class and E class wheels are not interchangeable.

Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide! <o:p></o:p>

and E should have the same lug seat, length may be different but you can get a set with the proper seat and length from RAD USA/otis
265 and 235's rear/front and you will fit nicely.Are you dropping the car?
How much for the rims?
I have a set of 07 SLK 350 rims brand new with new michelin pilots on them for a grand.So be sure you get a good deal if these rims are chipped rashed etc.

He's asking $700 for them in the classisifeds on here. https://mbworld.org/forums/wheels-ti...nch-tires.html (plus about $100 in shipping to get them here to the NW) They do have tires on them (some off brand).
I will most likely lower it a bit with Eibachs. I have seen some posts about cutting the springs, but I have not had much success with that in the past. I will look at the spring terminations to see if it might be more feasible on thes cars. Got pics of your wheels and tires?

are brand new with staggered tires.245's on a 320 are pushing it a bit if you drop it.cold cut springs are fine if you have access to the good saw with cooling.Changes spring rate about 10% ,and that is less than sport shocks and eibachs.Don't forget ,you drop it you need to align it.Or go to war with the nimrod that does not think you do
The rims are 17's look like 18's because of the design and will result in a better ride and performance than 18's.

Just another two cents. I have a set of Brabus replica Monoblock Vs 17x8 with Yokohama S Drives 235frt 245 rear with 1100 miles on them. Wheels are close to new condition with very minor rash on one. I am running S Drives for summer tires on the other cars we have. Great traction in wet and great holding grip. I have not posted these anywhere yet. Vehicle was sold and I kept the wheel/tire setup. They come with authentic BB caps and valve stems in place mounted and balanced. $700 plus ship.
