Wheel offset question SL65
Anyone with a 65 running an 11" wide rear wheel with a 305 series tires ? Did alot of research and can't get a definitive answer regarding offset. The wheels I'm looking at are 19x11 with a 37 offset, can anyone confirm fitment ? Thanks

Your stock offset is +31mm. That info is listed under your technical data in the owners manual. I plugged your info in the calculator at this link

wow thanks, this tool pretty much takes alot of the guess work out of it. From what I was reading seems like the oem front offset is 32 & 35 for the rear ? Your saying they are both 31 ?

Dr Plastic is correct about the SL65 OEM offsets and that is for 8.5" wide front rims and 9.5" rears. I replaced some aftermarket rims on my car with stock. The rims I took off were Mandrus Milenniums 8.5"and 9.5" but with 25mm offset and they fit fine.
