Wheels for 420 CL (C140)

[planetzog]

Hi, I have seen a set of wheels that i am interested in but unsure if they will fit. I have a 1996 420 cl (chassis C140). The wheels i have seen are AMG, Rim Width - 8.5J, Rim Diameter - 18 Inch, Offset - 30, Tyre Size, Tyre Width - 255, Aspect Ratio - 35

Fingers crossed
Many Thanks

ok, whats the ET?

Thats the distance from the hub face that the wheel sits in or out
Looking on the chart I see the min is 35 but shows higher for the AMG
It would nice if another 140 owner comes on

Being a lower number they would come more to the outside

ahh so the ET is the offset? So if the wheels are 30 and the minimum offset on my car is 35 thay arent going to fit?

That is the case im afraid,, they would stick out 5mm more.

Do note that the ET changes with the wheel diameter
