question on spacers and wheels
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?

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.

What's the width and offset of the wheels?
