Will 19x8.5 ET 35 and 19x10 ET 35 made for c32 wheels fit SLK 55??
If Im not wrong the OEM spec is
18x7.5 ET 37 and 18x8.5 ET 30

I'm not so sure if they will fit.
Can anyone help me out.
If they don't fit can I get away with small spacers or fender is needed to be rolled?
Thanks

Well I know Kleeman has a 19" option,

"8.5JX19 for the front axle with 235/35 ZR 19 tires, and 9.5JX19 with 275/30 ZR 19 tires on the rear "

So I don't know why the other ones of the same size wouldn't work, unless the S8 version includes wider body kits. rubbing is basically what you need to worry about and spacers only if they are tucked in to far and rub on a turn on the inside.

full SLK S8 article as follows

Opps!! Sorry my bad.
It suppose to be 10 width in the rear.
Thats why I'm really scared about rubbing. Would the problems go away if I roll fendeR?
Thanks.

Are these for the AMG 2piece joints you have?

I bet with a spacer you could easily fit them in the rear...
