Default wheels Offset

Hi

I'm looking for a set of AMG Aero style alloys. some seem to come off an s-class, some are more old school.
bottom line is do all mercedes have the same offset and if not what would be suitable for my R170 SLK.

Below are lorinser RS90 which are my favorite so far

Cheers
