- SLK Kompressor 2002
Will 18" AMG monoblock alloys fit on a 2002 Merc SLK Kompressor and if yes, any idea what tyre size should you use?
I don't think you'll find any suitable monoblock wheels with the correct radius boltholes for M12 bolts your SLK needs.
W202 or W203 Monoblocks will go straight on but they are incredibly rare
There were many replicas made by a company in Italy called Invicta, they were superb quality and took an OEM MB wheel centre, you may have more luck with them
Tyre wise
225/45 R17 front and 245/40 R17 rear
225/40 R18 front and 245/35 R18 rear is correct
Im not very clued up on this and have possibly shot myself in the foot (hence me looking for advice from you guys that have the knowledge) but ive already bought the alloys i mention above, and paid for them to be refurbed, so im really hoping that these will go on my merc SLK.
Ive been told they should fit, possibly i may need low profile tyres because the back wheels may catch the wheel arch as they are bigger.
Need to know the sizes, they should be stamped on the inside of one of the spokes
8x18 ET31, are they the same all round?
No, staggered.
All 18” but back is wider. Pics above are one of front of alloy and the other two are one of each front and back.
That inner circle isn’t flat...there’s a slight indent where it’s a bit lighter in colour?
I guess that can be sanded down easily enough?
Do you think these tyre sizes will fit? Spent a bit on them so I’m really hoping so:
225/40 R18 front and 245/35 R18 rear is correct
