I think from memory it was 37 bud

Maywell be on the standard rims buddy but the Rears on mine Are Dished, So the Offset will be different to Oe.

Yeah Brutus had Oversized wheels on it running Stretched tyres and spacers when i bought it,
At the time i Just needed the correct Size tyres and Wheels and bought the set which are on there now new.
Hmmm, mine runs odd sizes. 235x35x19 on the front and 275x30x19 on the rear. I would like to get back to 245's on the front and leave the 275's on the rear, but I'd just like different wheels. I'd like something similar to BBS LM's, but they only come in 45 offset.

What's 'dished'? Thought it meant a lip?
Have you considered putting some spacers on the rear just to bring the wheels out a bit closer to the arch?

^ I don't think Gav is keen on spacers after his experience with the front wheels.
I agree they would look better pushed out.

Oh what happened? I've only ever run spacers on the rear of my cars without issues. Hubcentric spacers with longer bolts ought to be ok if by the likes of H&R or Eibach.

Yes if id have known perhaps i shoulda gone 9.5j, Its running wider rears with the standard Oe size tyres But with a Dished Centre which is why its a 37 offset.
I dont really notice it tbh but others do agreed, It doesn't cause any uneven wear which is strange as most on here ive read wear the insides of the tyres 1st
I havn't ruled out Some Oe wheels but im saving my pennies now, Either to do just that or upgrade next year.
I'm now just enjoying Brutus as its practically like a new car, completely fault free a joy to drive and look at, 113k its hardly high mileage either.
Keeping the car as close to Standard/Original looking on the outside is what im trying to achieve, But keeping the Mods sedate. "sleeper" if you like.
Now to clean the underside again after its trip out in the rain to Waterhouse

Lool OCD at its best. Where's Rashman?!
A set of 19 SL65 splits would be killer but they do cost a bit lol. No spacers needed then. My e320 has oem E63 alloys on it but they don't sit great. The CLS versions have a tasty offset for the W211 though...
Ps not sure an AMG with 4 pipes out the back can ever be a sleeper LOL!
