Would AMG MonoBlock II fit?

I have a friend interested in buying my AMG E55 wheels, the monoblock II in the staggered setup. Do you guys know if this combo will fit? rims are 18x8 front and 18x9 rear. tires are 245 in front and 275 in rear. Offset is 31mm front and 35mm rear.
anybody have any knowledge on this... would appreciate it greatly.
thanks for your time!
Aj

it would be sticking in......it will not clear the brake...... you need a spacer for it...... Spacer that you need are 5mm for the front and 10mm for the rear.... For the SL you need an offset of 25 all around....... good luck with your sale......

They'll fit just fine. The width of your front rims is the same as what your friend has now, and the offset is nearly identical. On the rear, pretty much the same, except that your rims will extend both inward and outward an additional half-inch.

I know what I just wrote contradicts another response, but if you or your friend eyeball what he has now and visualize, then you will see I am right.

Use the same lug bolts.

i basically got the same response from the other benz forum. the only way we will know for sure is to simply bolt them on. i think we will do that here shortly if he does want to follow thru and buy.

Again, thank you both...
