Ok so I've Bought an 05 CLS 500...
I've just got the offer of a mismatched set of AMG III 19" alloys, specifically this type here AMG alloy wheels | Genuine new 19" AMG III | fits Mercedes CLS Class C219 | Alloy Wheels Direct Ltd
Ok the prolem is the rear set are actually from an SL (front) and are;
19 X 8.5" ET30 (SL front)
instead of;
19 X 9.5" ST28 (CLS rear)
I'm keen as I'm getting them for next to nothing although needing a refurb.
I think they should fit as there is only a 2mm difference in the offset, but what other problems will I encounter?
They will be 1" thinner, will that 1" be lost from the outside or inside?
Could I fit a set of spacers to push them out a bit more?
If so would that hurt the handling or cause problems?
Any advice is gratefully received, Colin.
