Question Need Info for a 96 SL500

I was hoping that someone would be able to help me with some information in regards to a 96 SL500. I am looking for either the correct offset size 18 "Hammer" AMG rims for the car or spacers to make my 245/40/18's fit the front of the car. Thank you for any information that you may have.
