Question about wheels
Just bought some wheels off the craigslist and looks like I got 3 wheels 18 x 8 and one 18 x 9. Is it ok to mix it if they have the same tire? Let's say I'll put them on the front? The reason my dumba** didn't check is because they were off other benz.
Thanks in advance.

The original front and rear wheels had different offsets. So if this hold true for the ones that you bought, then the axle with mixed wheels would have a different centerpoint affecting tracking, handling and treadlife.

The offset is the same, the tires on them are the same too. I'm trying to find the other wheel right now, but it's hard, because they've been discontinued. The wheels are TSW kyalami, I got all four of them for $320 in pretty good condition, chrome finished.
I found few sources, but their price is $388 for one rim, and I'm not even sure if they have them in stock. There is one on ebay 18x8 for $150 but it's gun metal, so I'm thinking just get that one and just apply chrome finish on it.... only other option is to buy 19" for the back ...
