the rear offset is a bit off but i actaully use the exact same wheel dimensions on my 32 with zero issues. be aware im not lowered and the rear is hella flush with the fenderwell lip. if i dropped the car i would hit with every bump.
the front is the same et but 1" bigger diameter no issue. the rear oem is a 35 et and the decrease is minimal on the et but the 1" diameter makes a difference and aslo the tires used. my choice was a factory size front (225/40-18) and a 265/35-18 ) rear in the hankook v12

so as long as car is not lowered it shouldn't be the problem right??

Thanks for your help~!

This is our SLK32 with SLK55 wheels. They fit perfectly but you do need special lug bolts. 12mm thread for the SLK32 with 14 mm ball head for the SLK55 wheels.
I sold our SLK32 years ago but I’m currently looking for another.
