Help finding the perfect-offset wheels
I'm having trouble finding exactly what I want for my newly-acquired 2007 R171.
I'm looking for simple, black 5-spoke wheels in 19x8.5 235/35 up front and 19x9.5 rear on 265/30
I want the offset to be very aggressive, most-importantly in the rear. My SRT6 (SLK32) had 19x8.5's up front, and 20x10's in the rear with a +25 offset, but I have no idea if this will work on the SLK55, and I definitely don't want a 20 on the SLK, it does not match the body the same way it does on the rear of the SRT6. I just really hate when the wheels are overly 'tucked' in the rear.
The most trouble I am having is CONFIRMING offsets on this platform! I have searched endlessly on google and within 2 benz forums, and there seems to be so much contradiction about what fits and what does not. It would be great if a few could chime in with identical setups and confirm aggressive fitments. I do not mind rolling my fenders if necessary.
Thank you everyone for your time and assistance
