    Question 19 X8.5 and 19 X 9.5 Aero II Monoblocks!

    tirerack.com but it won't let you do it for c43, pick an s class or something as your car and they will show you the 19s, I would also assume you would have to roll your fenders or maybe use dremel to cut the fenders to get it to fit, but nice choice on wheels, it will look very nice, oh wait, is your car lowered? I am not sure about nonlowered cars maybe it might work alright because you have more room, but if you plan on lowering it, which I say you do, it will need rolling.

    they have 19x8.5 not sure about 19x9.5 and I think the tires would be 255/40-19

    You THINK the tires would be 255/40/19? THINK does not cut it, that is wrong info.



    THE CORRECT tire size for 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 wheels is 225/35/19 front and 255/30/19 rear.

    I acually run 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear offset 40mm, but i put on a 5mm spacer to make it 35mm (ideal offset)

    I am also running a 265/30/19 in the rear, this rubs and the fender plastic needed to be adjusted with dremel tool.

    Thanks for tips guys. My goal is to fit the fit the biggest AMG AERO II Monoblocks (Silver) on the car while keeping everything else stock. And without no mods to make them fit. I am hoping that is 19's but maybe its 18's? As I say just bought the car bone stock with 37,000 miles on it and I love it!

    19's or 18's?

    deal or no deal?

    you could run 20 inch wheels with out lowering but not sure how good it will do. IMHO 20s will look tacky and out of place.


    I would go with the 19s if i were you, they will look huge becuase of the big face of the monoblock

    Get the correct offset with correct tire sizes and you should be good to go.

    I have some 19 X 8.5 all around, for sale HERE

    They're replicas, I have yet to see authentic 19's AMG Mono II. Also they didn't make any 9.5 for the replicas also. Let me know if you're interested. See me an offer.

    awesome pics of the dubs, looks great! I know that Tire Rack has authentic 19 by 8.5 AMG Aero II monoblocks and so far as you suggest I haven't seen any 19 by 9.5 authentic AMG Aero II Monoblocks. Its too bad that no one knows how to contact AMG to find out? If anyone knows please help! Thanks a bunch

    also I forgot those 19's did you have to do any mods to the lip or fenders or was it a straight install. I don't plan to drop the car just would like the biggest monoblock aero II that I can fit. Thanks!

    Thats dropped with 20 mm spacers on the rear. I had to just roll the fenders and shave it a bit. But after that no rubbing at all even with 3 people in there.
