Wheel / offset question

Would I need spacers for these to fit on my 2004 SL55?

Your offset with standard wheels/rims from AMG says FRONT ET30 og REAR ET33 and the rims your interested in says offset: 32 Front / 35 Rear so .... guess you will be further out then the original ..... but any serious tire shop will help you out .... just call them and ask .....

RE: Offsets

For clarification, a smaller offset number brings the wheels further out, a larger number tucks them further in.

Your stock 18 inch wheel offsets are 30 front/33 rear.

If the wheels you are looking at are 32 front/35 rear offset, they are actually 2mm front/2mm rear further INWARD than your stock wheels. From an offset position they will fit just fine, and you will likely not notice the difference visually at all.
