ML W164 ET size 60 and 48

[nigel cross]

My ML has an AMG body kit along with21" AMG wheels.
Having a good look at them they are both 21"but 2 have ab ET of 48 and 2 have an ET of 60.
Should the 60's be at the rear or the front?

Should be in the handbook , although I'd expect the lower offset to be on the rear to give a wider stance.

Or is it the other way round lol

The lower the offset, the further out the hub i.e. the split rims I fitted to my W211 E55 were from on SL and the offset was roughly 10 ET lower so the wheels sat out more.

Higher off-sets are easier to get round because you can push the wheels out using spacers.

Found it in the handbook the ET 60's go on the front and the ET 48's on rear.
Looks like its wheel diameter dependant as the 19, 20 and 21 standard wheels are all the same size, while the 19" and 21" AMG differ in offset.
