SL55 18" on a W208??
Luke -

I suspect the answer is NO! But I thought I would double check.. Will these stock rims fit a W208? I suspect it includes the stock tires and size..

Thank you,

Alex

But you can fit ST4's that look exactly the same as SL55's AMG double spoke, and you don't justify spending 5K.

Could I ask what exactly the problem with fitting these would be? Ie - is the offset incorrect, the bolt spacing, the hole size, etc.?

I am sure you folks are correct, but I am just trying to see what the issue is.


Thank you,

Alex
