I thinking of buying some Alloy wheels

At present I have 17inch wheels but I've seen some 18 inch wheels.

Front alloy: 8J X 18H2 ET45

Rear alloy: 8.5J X 18H2 ET48

Part number: A2074010000

I don't know if they'll fit my SL500 (R230) and if any function will be lost. Advice please.

 

The offset is all wrong for a 230.

 

From an E I think...

 

Thanks, I'm glad I checked. They're good looking wheels, but I won't be buying them.

 

Standard 18" wheels for an SL (R230) should be.....

Front 8.5J x 18 ET35
Rear 9.5J x 18 ET40

However there is some leeway on the offsets, just dont go too far.

 

Thanks Flowrider, my ebay browsing will be better informed next time.

 

You'll probably be fine with the ride on 18's but I'd hold onto the 17's for a few months at least just to be sure.

 

My figures are 30 and 33 for offset....?

I was quoting the normal Avior wheel which most R230 have as an option.

ET's vary a little.

 

These are my 19" wheels except my ET's are 25 front and 28 rear.

I got Aviors, came with the car but they been painted a silver to tidy up to sell and they did a rubbish job.
i painted my my x-type 10 spokes a ford graphite grey metallic, quite dark and they looked great against metallic Aegean Blue body.

I really need them looking better, soo annoying
Any suggestions anyone against TellurSilver?? car does have a hue of Blue at times, to me anyway

 

i like yours wheels
i think the'd look great in gun metal grey

 

I was looking at the AMG IIIs which are another common fitment.

AMG IVs are 28/33 so yes a lot of (subtle) variation.

The ones on our 230 are 25/28

AMG 18" VI, £3250 fitted. I'm dreaming!

I'll watch ebay over the coming months. I'm sure I'll find something good.

 

I have the 18" Avior wheels on my lowly Telurium silver (blue tint hue to hit) SL350, they'd been refurbished with silver powder coat prior to my purchasing the car. Personally I like silver but I think anthracite or graphite grey would look nice, I'm not a fan of black wheels. Now I know it hasn't got a big V8 in it but the car rides fine on 18" wheels, no harsh crashing and banging, unlike the awful 19" wheels that were on my R129 before I changed them stock 17's.
