2006 SLK55 wheels/offset

Anyone know stock bolt up size/offsets for a 2006 SLK55?

What about what will work staying in 18's and offsets?

Thanks

Do you know if they are even forged? I was under the impression they were, but from playing on the net, they may actually just be cast rims?

IIRC, they are in fact cast and not forged.

Bloody heck...those are some expensive cast rims then...for that I may end up with a set of TSW's. See my latest post...

Yes, I agree these are the stock specs. FYI I am also using for track use the 22-spoke AMG wheels (from an SL, I believe) and tires with the following specs.

Front 18x8.5 30mm offset, 225/40x18
Rear 18x9.5 33mm offset, 265/35x18.

I have had no problems with rubbing, but I have rolled the inner edge of the front wheel openings.
