2013 ML350 4Matic (NOOB)

Whats up everyone, just made the switch from BMW to Mercedes, pretty happy about it. Just picked up a very mint condition low mileage 2013 ML350 with the Premium 1 Package. Only complaint I have are the rims, they are just so ugly. I know the wheel size is 19x8.5, but can someone tell me what a good offset is? I live in NYC, I just want the car to drive normal with different wheels. Also does anyone have any input on either to go with the Joyeauto Car Play or Uni-Chip? Thanks!

I am aware the stock offset is 56, just wondering if some of you get 45's and use a 10mm spacer to get as close as possible.

An ET45 wheel with a 10mm spacer will give you an ET of 35, not 55.

Anytime. ET35 will definitely poke out past the fenders. In the summer I run 20x9.5 ET40 OZ Racing Versilia on my ML with 265/45-20 MPS4 SUV tires, and they sit perfectly flush with the fenders.

Also - I'd stay far away from spacers on a heavy SUV (even if they are hubcentric - there is just way too much load for spacers). Just saying.
