Correct offsets for a 2004 CLK55
I am curious what the offsets are on my current F/R 17" wheels and what "range" of offsets can I use if I want to go 18X8.5/18X9.5...thanks!

The AMGs that come with the car should be ET37/34. As for the 18x8.5/9.5, it really depends on the wheel that you're looking for. Anything around ET30 should be okay. But if you already have something in your mind, shoot me an e-mail, perhaps I can get you a nice deal.

I was thinking maybe the SL65 knockoff's I have seen on eBay. I really like the SLK55 22 spoke wheels but I don't think they will fit. Will the SL65's clear my front caliper??
