They are coming off an SL55 so I have been told. Forgive me for being cautious, but I always like to get a 2nd opinion i.e. is the offset substantially correct... I have actually emailed HRE to double check as I have the serials for the wheels. Pricing appears to be sold, but I need to know they will fit....

If you're referring to the one selling in the classfieds, the seller says the 9.5" is a typo and should be 9" for the front wheels. They do fit on your car tho.

So that is the correct offset? I am just worried about getting the wheels and either needing spacers or having them stick out from the body.

They were made for SL so you should be good.
