Is anyone running 18x8.5, ET 43 wheels with 235/40 tires? I'm looking to upgrade my wheels and the wheels I'm looking at only come in this ET. I'm currently running 18x8.5, ET 35 and have no issues at all.

I believe I need to get at least 8mm spacers and longer bolts to make this work. But just want to hear from someone actually running this set up to make sure there are no other issues.

Anyone have an idea what the standard bolt length is for a stock W210? Then I can just add 8mm to get the correct new bolt length.

I am running 18x8.5 ET 38 with a 10mm spacer in the front and 12mm in the rear. At et 43 it might be tight in the front.

You'll rub on the upper control arm bolt. I ran 18x8.5 ET 38 and needed 5mm spacers to keep it from rubbing.
