Wheel Adapters

[MikeD]

I'm looking at a nice set of wheels but the catch is that the specs are as follows:
5x100. 8"x18" ET35

Obviously, some adapters are needed. Any idea on how thick of adapters I can buy without having to roll my fenders?

What wheels are they? many big name manufacturers should have 5x112, even if the distributor doesn't stock them.

hes probably buying used wheels and not new wheels. they have adapters, smallest ive seen is probably 15mm. look into getting wobble bolts. do a little bit of research and see if thats something you'd consider.

Yes, they are used superturismos. Any idea on how thick of adapters I could get though so that my wheels won't rub on the fenders?

try to get the thinnest you can get on those adapters..

I'm still wheel shopping and came across some E55 AMG W211 wheels, probably reps for the price given but here they are:

Does this seem worth the price even if they are reps?

You have to make sure that offset is correct for this on your W202. I'm guessing it's not. However I'll let wheel experts comment on that.

IIRC, those wheels cannot fit W202 without mods.

Are we talking just fender rolling here? It seems that the specs on these wheels are typically 18"x8" ET30 front and 18"x9" ET39 rear, assuming they aren't reps.

Those should fit fine with some smaller tire sizes. maybe some 10mm spacers as well.
