ML with CL AMG wheels ?

Hello

I am thinking of putting the CL / S 20'' amg wheels on the ML instead of the ML's 20 AMG wheels. Anyone know if they will fit? or have some photos with them installed? any thoughts?

Heres a url showing them on ebay:

eBay Motors: Genuine AMG Mercedes 20 inch wheels ContinentalTires (item 150180179027 end time Nov-17-07 08:43:13 PST)


I have done some experimenting with photoshop to see how they look in comparison with the ML's AMG's :




Thanks

These won't work unfortunately, not without some spacers at least. The offset is something like 35mm, which is significantly less than that of the ML's. Moreover, the tires are too small and would throw off your speedo/odometers.

Is there any problems/sideeffects in installing these with spacers?
I do not mind about their default tires being to small, since i will purchase them separately and have the choice on which tire to install.

That would look AWESOME!, the spacers will cause it to stick out about an inch.

The wheels in the Ebay link above are staggered. Meaning that the front and rear wheels are different widths. This won't work well or look well on an ML. There is a guy that has this look with a set of aftermarket CLS wheels on his ML but they are all the same width wheels and the offset is more appropriate for the ML.
Good Luck

I've the last 20" AMG for S on my ML (8.5J F, 9.5J R +43mm offset). They fit well and even looks more agressive than you expect.

Do you have any rubbing issues?
Do you have any pics?
Thanks

Take a look at the 20" GL550 wheels (same look as the CL AMG wheels, almost) and see if they'll work.

No rubbing issue..... even I've the Eibach pro-damper that lower the OE sport suspension by 4 inches !!

OE 19" sport - 8J x 19, +60mm offset
20" AMG for S - 8.5J F, 9.5J R x 20", both +43mm offset

After mods.....it makes much safer & faster cornering
Front - abt 1" outwards
Rear - abt 1.5" outwards

It runs the tire Continental Cross Contact UHP, F/R tire size 255/50R20 that maintains both comfort and acceleration. I'd tried tire size 265/45R20 PZero Asymmetrical, but would comprimise comfort and acceleration.

What do you think?
