non offset wheels?

apart from the looks, is there reason why you cant run 9" all round wheels as compared to offset? have come across a nice set of 20's x 9 which do not come in offset but am told they will fit fine. It would also be kinda nice to be able to swap wheels all round as currently my rears last about 1/4 the time as the fronts..... wheels (brabus style):

No offest at all???

That sounds a little off.

The only thing you might have a problem with them clearing the AMG breaks. Plus with no off set they will most likely sit quite a bit in under the wheels well giving you car a very weak appearacne

He means non-staggered...


... and I honestly have no clue. Maybe get some spacers?

Non-staggered is fine. In fact the recommended wheels for winter tires are non-staggered.

Not sure what the optimal offset is for a 9 inch wheel, though.
