1992 - 500SL: Have AMG Monoblock IIs on the car, 17x7.5, 225/45/17 tires. They are 35 offset, 34 is standard. Also, the standard wheels are 8" wide, even though both sets of wheels wear 225 rubber.

The wheels are set inward a little much, maybe .5" over stock. I'd like to have them pushed out to the corners a little more, say 10mm a side rear, 5mm a side front.

Is this reasonable? Or what would you recommend? I don't want to get crazy, I just want it to look more appropriate and also, relatively stock.

What's my next course o action to get a better look?

 

Unless I'm missing something, I'd recommend reposting the question on the 124 forum. More knowledge there about your car and it seems a more active forum as well.

 

Oops, sorry. Failed to specify I just picked up a 92 500SL.

 

I just put 15mm on rear.. with 18" wheels.. look good for me....!
Ordered 10mm for front. .see how that goes...
*have not been to the alignment shop yet.. but, will after all in. hopefully,
it will not adversely affect too much.

~peace~

 

What's the width and offset of the wheels?

 

8.5front and 9.5 rear..rim width
ill have to verify the et.
pretty sure its et35 rear and et31 front, tho.
