Came across a deal for some 18 inch amg wheels off of a 2001 S55 was wondering if anybody knew if they would fit? I already have my fenders rolled and for a little extra clearance and i have amg drop springs (yeah real ones) small drop but stiff setup. And they are a staggered set being 18x8.5 et44 in front and 18x9.5 et46 for the rear. Can these possibly fit? Or give up on these?
Another rim fitman question from a S55 to a w124

I read somewhere you wanna do et45 max, so what about a wheel spacer or shim thingy, I see they got the ranging from 10mm to 4mm, pushes the rim out a lil bit. I forgot to mention for the fronts I also have a fender spacer kit setup installed with rolled fenders at front and back for more clearance.
You're definitely going to want spacers for those. I have 18x8.5 ET32 up front, and they barely clear the front shock absorber. I mean BARELY:

You've got more room in the rear, but you're still going to want to space those wheels out considerably. You're going to wind up with the wheels essentially flush with the outside line of the fenders.
