SLK350 Front Offset? (EMERGENCY)

d23 · 03-06-2007

Hi, do you guys happen to know what's the offset for the front of SLK350, because I got a set of wheel with 35mm offset and they won't fit, I heard that the offset is somewhere around 30mm? Please, I really need the info ASAP. Thanks!

28 at the front and 31 at the rear would be perfect I believe. 35 is the standard size of all Brabus wheels. Don´t worry with spacers they should match. (But could be a problem with the front brakes!)

thanks owl for the input, that's the problem I'm facing right now, the front brake doesn't clear the wheel, so right now I need the exact number of offset for the front wheel, so I can order the right spacer for it.

If I remember right, i have a 5/16inch spacer on my 35mm Front Rims. Or 3/16, all I know is its not very big. And Currently they are off so I guess I could go measure them when I get home Later.

Thx baron for the help, finally mounted the wheels, I bought the H&R spacers to make them fit.

Congrats on the wheels, d23 very very nice contrast, paint the front splitters for the grill black[ ala SLK55 stlye] and a Brabus Bodykit.
