they dont make 18x7.5 AMG monoblock, they have a 17x7.5 one.
You need to get a 18x9 AMG monoblocks for the rears and put the 18x8 on the front.
its not going to rub
i have 2 rims off the front of a w210 E55. they are 18x8 ET31 amg monobock aero II. i was planning on puttin them on the rear and trying to put a 18x7.5 amg monoblock aero II on the front but i cant find that size anywhere. my w202 (95' c280) is lowered w/ intrax springs, bilstein sport shocks, and already has #1 pads from the factory up front. do u think i will have any rubbing issues if i buy 2 more of the 18x8 with a ET31 offset and throw those on the front with 225/40/18 tires. then i will have 18x8 ET31 all around and i can rotate. i am not worried about the rear rubbing just the front. i really don't want to start doing fender mods. also if i do this set-up and it fits, will the front appear wider than the rear and seem to stick out farther meaning will it look ugly. thanks in advance, jason

thanks jnolte for the quick response. so u think the 18x9's in the rear would be better than 18x8's all around. that good because i found tirerack has a special right now on the 18x9 monoblock aero II.

even in case that the front sticks out more than the rear, you can always get spacers.

thanks again guys for all the help. alboogiee, i actually already purchased the 18x9 for the rear a few days ago and received them. got tires too guys and test fitted. they look amazing. rears are very close but no rubbing at all. i was worried at first because i am really slammed on the rear but everything came out fine.
i have a set of 19x8 ET37 5x112 Motegi FF5 wheels in hyper black with center caps. these are still brand new in the box, never mounted. they are made my roja but motegi owns them so they have motegi center caps and motegi boxes but are stamped with roja on the back of the wheels. make offers if interested!!!!!
